In Holland, Santa is known as Sinterklaas, and he is believed to live in Spain. Each year, he arrives in the Netherlands by steamboat, bringing gifts and treats for children. The celebration of Sinterklaas occurs in early December, culminating in the festive holiday of Pakjesavond on December 5th, when children receive presents. This tradition is distinct from the Christmas celebration associated with Santa Claus in other cultures.
