Across the ocean is a continent named Europe. In Europe is a country named The Netherlands. Sometimes people call it "Holland," but the correct name is The Netherlands. Their paper money is different colors. They are famous for growing millions of tulips. There are some people there who carve wooden shoes. The flag is red, white, and blue. And they don't have Santa Claus, they have Sinterklaas (or St. Nicholas).

This lesson is about how Sinterklaas is different from Santa Claus, and how the Christmas season is celebrated in The Netherlands. thumb/7/7d/Sinterklaas_2007.jpg/400px- Sinterklaas_2007.jpg
