He and his white horse arrive in his boat from Spain and brings presents for all the children. Chocolate letters and chocolate coins are often accompanied with these presents.

Wikipedia.

This is very funny Brigitte, and the pictures are very well done. This afternoon the Sinterklaas journaal starts again so both of my kids can't wait till the Sint arrives again.
