Sinterklaas is an old, good-natured bearded man dressed in bishop's vestments. He lives in Spain most of the year and travels to the Low Countries by steam boat annually, arriving there end of November. He is welcomed by the mayor of the city where his steam boat arrives, and this is broadcast live on TV each year. After holding a speech, Sinterklaas mounts his white horse and rides throughout the city. He is accompanied by several black helpers who are all called "Zwarte Piet" ("Black Pete"). Zwarte Piet throws candy and cookies at the good children, but will punish the bad ones by beating them with a birch rod and carrying them off to Spain in a bag (this, of course, never actually happens). While Sinterklaas is in the country, in the evening children put their shoes next to the chimney and sing carols, hoping their shoe will be filled with candy or small gifts during the night. Sinterklaas' birthday is celebrated on the eve of December 5th, which includes more candy and gifts, while adults generally write each other (sometimes snide) poems.
Because St. Nicholas was a bishop, "Sinterklaas" is always dressed in a bishop's robe and mitre. The character Santa Claus later took his name, beard and red suit. Still, many foreigners think that Sinterklaas is a rip-off of Santa Claus, instead of the other way around.
