The arrival of Sinterklaas is a big thing for Dutch youngsters, as the old saint makes his way through the cities by boat and on a white horse.
The entry of Sinterklaas is a big thing in the Netherlands: it is live on TV, and it marks a period of several weeks during which he goes around the country on his white horse (schimmel) with his black assistants (Zwarte Pieten) to make kids happy. In the evening, children would sing one of many traditional songs, put carrots, sugar, and other small food items in their shoe before going to sleep. The next morning, they may find a gift in their shoe. Often, this is candy, a chocolate letter (normally, the first letter of their name), marsepein, or something else. At school, Sinterklaas may come by with his big book in which he has something written about all kids, and talk to them briefly before giving them a present.
