Christmas in Holland looks a little different than here in Lexington, South Carolina... but somehow... we got a visit from Sinterklass! He traditionally visits boys & girls on December 6 and leaves treats in their shoes...but we must have been extra good this year because he visited us a day early. Sinterklass looks a lot like our Santa Claus but he only has one horse to hurry him around to share his goodies with boys & girls. You can see that we had lots of fun leaving our real shoes in the hall to hopefully find it filled with treats while we away from our classroom. You can see our paper wooden shoes to help Sinterklaas know exactly who he was leaving treats for. (PS --- we are super happy that we do not have to wear wooden shoes.)
We had a super awesome chapel with Pastor John. He always shares a Bible story with us and sings some really fun songs. (Did you know that Pastor John knows the Reindeer Pokey?)
And what a surprise! Sinterklaas did stop by Pilgrim Preschool... we returned from chapel and found a treat bag in our shoes.
Boys & Girls in Holland say "Vrolijk Kerstfeest" on Sinterklass day... In English this means Merry Christmas, however, this is not something that Mrs. Laura can say... so we'll leave it at "Happy Sinterklass Day!"
