WE CANNOT GUARANTEE DELIVERY IN TIME FOR SINTERKLAAS FOR ORDERS THAT ARE PLACED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 2nd!
We are happy to
present you with our collection of Sinterklaas candy! Sinterklaas is a
Dutch holiday, which is celebrated on December 4,5, and 6th, although "Sinterklaas Avond (Eve)" is only celebrated on the 5th. It is basically meant for
the little ones, just like Christmas is, and it is also celebrated nationwide by young and old, christian and non-christian, and without any religious overtones.
A few weeks before his
holiday, "Sinterklaas" comes to Holland on his steamer with all his
"zwarte pieten," and the presents which they prepared in Spain during the
year. This event can be seen on Dutch television. From his arrival in
Holland until his holiday, the kids can put their shoes in front of the
fireplace. At night, "Sinterklaas" visits all the houses by
travelling over the roofs on his horse, traditionally white/grey (called
"Schimmel" in Dutch), along with "zwarte piet". They enter the houses through the
chimney to put the presents in the shoes. Sometimes, the
kids put straw, carrots, and water near the shoe for the
horse.
"Towards December 5th, St. Nicholas poems pop up everywhere in the Netherlands: in the press, in school, at work and in both Houses of Parliament.
On the day of the 5th, most places of business close a bit earlier than normal. The Dutch head home to a table laden with the same traditional sweets and baked goods eaten for Sinterklaas. Large chocolate letters - the first initial of each person present - serve as place settings.
Early in the evening sweets are eaten while those gathered take turns unwrapping their gifts and reading their poems out loud so that everyone can enjoy the impact of the surprise. The emphasis is on originality and personal effort rather than the commercial value of the gift, which is one reason why Sinterklaas is such a delightful event for young and old alike."
