Yes, we still celebrate

So thumbs up for our Belgian and Dutch community.
Belgian Sinterklaas
Some pictures by Sofie show the creative arrival of Sinterklaas at Nearby The Tree, The event was organized by the Belgian Embassy on 27 November, way ahead 0f 6 December, to allow our good Saint to be on time in Belgium. Our ambassador was there to welcome the many children and parents.
The Embassy of The Netherlands
The Dutch also had their Zwarte Piet and … a Blauwe Piet (creative, maybe coming from Mars?).
See their video clip:
