Mine is "sinterklaas". It's on the 5th of december and is sort of like Santa. Sinterklaas lives in Spain and he comes to Holland every year to give us presents on his birthday (if we were good) and he rides on a horse.

A week before december 5th (or something like that) he arrives on his boat in Holland and we can put our shoes at the front door or in front of the fireplace (depents from family to family). We sing a song and and put a nice drawing or a carrot for the horse in the shoe, Sinterklaas will put a little present in your shoe.
On the 5th of december he comes to our houses (mostly in the evening) and leaves a bag full of presents for the entire family. With the presents Sinterklaas writes a poem about the present or the person receiving it or it.
