The Dutch do things their own way, and so they should. When it comes to Christmas, the main player is Sinterklaas. I have yet to have the honour to meet this white-haired gentleman from Spain, dressed like a bishop but in red.
However, I have met his little helper, Swarte Piet. Actually, I met several of them.
Another thing that makes Christmas special for the Dutch is oliebollen (kind of a round donut), that are sold from colourful street stalls. Here, Femek is enjoying ibne. As you can see, they come with a generous helping of icing sugar.
