  homepage Dutch version
We started this Site because we want to keep St. Nicholas (Sinterklaas) and the Dutch Sinterklaasfestival a live and promote it.
At the same time, we do understand dat some people sometimes also do want to be visited by Santa Claus. (For example on a Christmas Fair/Market)
Therefore we do not place Saint Nicholas in compition with Santa Claus, but as the Older Uncle and good friend beside his younger nephew and good friend. And we show (and explain) that they sometimes even work as a team if that is needed for the benefit of a child.
This with the motto "Sint Nicholas comes first"
For those reasons you will find here a lot of info about both of them.
For example the historical and/or mythological backgrounds and the most likely relation between Sinterklaas and Santa Claus.
Also you will find here the explainations for many of the Customs around both of them. So that You will have a good (and for childeren acceptable) answer on possible difficult questions from your childeren/grandchilderen.
Next to that we offer the possibility to book Saint Nicholas (and Pete) and/or Santa Claus for a visite to your home / school / bussiness a.s.o. (This only in the North Region of the Netherlands and Germany, due to time and costs).
They can be Booked directly by us, or by other bookingcenters with good references (We offer a couple of links to find them).
Al in al enough info to make this an interesting site and to do some reading here.
