Sinterklaas, known in English as St. Nicholas, is celebrated annually in the Netherlands, Belgium, and parts of Germany. The legend of Sinterklaas tells the story of a kind bishop who arrives from Spain to bring gifts and treats to children. His arrival is marked with parades and celebrations in mid-November, and the excitement builds throughout the month leading up to his special day.

On the evening of December 5th, families gather for a festive dinner, often followed by the exchange of carefully chosen gifts, accompanied by witty poems and riddles that make each present even more special. The next day, December 6th, is a holiday to celebrate Sinterklaas himself, but it's the night before that truly holds the magic.

Gift-giving plays a significant role in the Sinterklaas tradition. Unlike the Christmas holiday, where gifts are often extravagant or expensive, Sinterklaas gifts tend to be thoughtful and creative. The focus is on the personal touch—whether it's a small token of appreciation, a handcrafted gift, or something that reflects the recipient's personality and interests.

The act of gift-giving on Sinterklaasavond is often paired with sinterklaasgedichten (Sinterklaas poems), in which family members or friends write humorous, teasing verses that explain why the gift is meaningful or how it relates to the recipient's quirks. It's a fun and heartfelt way to express appreciation, making the gift-giving experience even more memorable.
