5Dec ... the birthday of Sinterklaas (not Santa Claus) #dutchtradition

So Sinterklaas arrives in Holland 2 weeks before his bday on a boat with his horse & helpers. From that moment, kids will put their shoe every evening at the fireplace with a wishlist & carrot 🥕 for the horse, in the hopes of getting a gift 🎁 in exchange the next morning. (Quite a chore if you’re a parent) 😀
Families would draw names & buy gifts for each other, along with a poem & do the exchange on Sinterklaas bday - 5Dec. He returns back to Spain again that day. To all celebrating in Holland today .... “Fijne Pakjesavond!” 🎁

So for todays #pakjesavondchallenge I made a brownie cake from @droetkerbakken_nl & decorated it with all Sinterklaas candies. The idea I got from bakken.nl
