Christmas Around the World: Netherlands

St. Nicholas Day is December 6th. In the Netherlands, they celebrate by putting out wooden shoes with a gift for Sinterklaas and a carrot from his horse.

Monty filled his own shoes with hay and carrots, while the girls put baggies of snack carrots in their boots.

They weren't thrilled with the idea of leaving their shoes outside all night, so they set them by the tree.
