Sinterklaas is an ancient Dutch tradition. Children believe that an old saint, named Sinterklaas, is real and has a lot of black helpers. Sinterklaas and his helpers, Zwarte Pieten, walk on the roofs of houses, going through the chimney and putting gifts in every kid’s shoe. These shoes are placed by the fireplace the night before, with some treats for Sinterklaas’ horse and a drawing for Sinterklaas.
In our common room, we have a fireplace so we want to find out if Sinterklaas will put something in our shoes the night of December 5th!
If you want to join, please send an email before November 30th to aktie@msvincognito.nl with the subject Sinterklaas. You’ll get an email back with information about when and how you can place your shoe. You don’t have to be present there at December 5th, you just get to set your shoe, wait the weekend and hopefully find a gift in there the Monday! It will cost you 3 euros and you have to make a drawing or poem to put in your shoe for Sinterklaas!
Kind regards
