Amsterdam, Netherlands
Santa Clause is known as Sinterklaas by the Dutch. Each year, Sinterklaas arrives by boat with his helpers (faces covered in dirt and grime from the chimneys) to start the Winter holiday season. Angela and I went with what appeared to be all the children in Amsterdam to watch the parade of boats as they navigated down the canals for all to see. It was really neat to be part of this and see all the children dressed up and happy to see Sinterklaas.
