Well, there used to be a country called "the Spanish Netherlands", which is nowadays known as "Belgium" (+ Luxembourg and some small bits of the surrounding larger countries of France, Germany and the modern day Netherlands). As the Sinterklaas tradition is very old, I would guess, that his assistant Zwarte Piet (= "Black Pete", who is basically the Dutch version of Krampus) took the kids to Belgium (aka the nearest "Spain" seen from the Netherlands), which is, of course, a horrible thing to do. Despite being a lovely country with wonderful people, Belgium's capital Brussels also serves as EU headquarter, i.e. the slimy ganglion of the wretched cesspool of corruption, neo-communism and outright insanity. They seriously DID police the curvature of cucumbers for several years, because (most) EU minions are overpaid, braindead, bored p*rvs, who haven't lifted a single finger in all their lives and would take money from Satan himself. Even though the EU is a relatively recent construct, its demonic nature must have radiated backwards through time and made the Spanish Netherlands an utterly unattractive place.

Dit betekend voor mensen die niet uit een Engelstalige gebieden komen dat zij steeds meer twee of meertalig aan het worden zijn. En daar ontstaat de valkuil dat mensen die wel uit de Engeltalige gebieden komen steeds meer het idee krijgen dat het leren van een buitenlandse taal leren niet nuttig meer is omdat ze in het buiteland toch wel jouw taal kennen. Aan de andere kant leren veel Amerikanen toch wel een of meerder talen. Maar vaak zijn dit talen die bijvoorbeeld handig zijn voor de handel. Chinees is steeds geliefder.

But even then, most people I know who were raised bilingual don't even fully remember their second language anymore because they've never had o fully utilize it. Cultural history is no pillar of great parenting, don't be so conceited.

In the Netherlands we have a kind of funny dark comedy and it was at one time very popular in songs. The song she's talking about is "De Gezusters Kamarazov" (The Sisters Karamazov), a play on the book by Dostojewski, by Drs. P. Another example is "Dodenrit" (Death Ride), by the same singer. It's about a Russian family on their way to Omsk, but they get chased by wolves, so they have to throw their children off the troika to keep the wolves away. They start with the least talented one, but the wolves keep coming back, so they have to keep throwing their children off. Drs. P was inspired by Louis Davids, who sang songs about all day themes, but with funny dark undertones. There's one example named "De Begrafenis van Ome Manus" (The Burial of Uncle Manus). In this song a rich man has died, but he has many descendants who start to kill each other over the heritage. Another example is "Weekend in Scheveningen", where the chorus is about happy like "Yeah, we're going to the beach in Scheveningen. The sky is blue, the sea is warm in Scheveningen!", but in the verses the family irritate each other and they start beating each other to death. It may be strange to some people, but I think it's funny as hell.

It's confusing for americans when we talk about 'Sinterklaas'. They think we're talking about 'Santa Claus' but that is not true. 'Sinterklaas' is a mythical man who supposedly lives in Spain and who brings presents and candy for children on december 6th (in Belgium) and september 5th (in Holland). He has multiple assistants who are called 'zwarte piet'. So 'Piet' is a Dutch name, and 'zwarte' means black. So he's 'zwarte piet' because he crawls through chimneys to deliver the toys and candy in childrens homes and that's why he's black. 'Sinterklaas' is actually based on an ancient Germanic feast. 'Santa Claus' is called 'Kerstman' in Dutch and there's no difference between the american and Dutch/Belgian 'Kerstman'. He brings presents on Christmas.

He moved in with his uncle an became a priest, eventually a bishop and after he died a Saint. In the legends he is a benefactor to children from praying them back alive, saving them from a butcher how made meat from them Most famous is the poor man with 3 daughter and no dowery and would most likely stay single the rest of their live and being assumed to be prostiutes. To save them humiliation Dear O'l Nik would secretly trew in 1 purse money trough the window when a daughter became of aged to be married. When the 3 daughter was going to be the father wanted to know how the kind man was. Nik went on the roof and threw the purse trough the chimney and ended up falling in a stocking hanging there to dry. Santa little helpers? those where thieve how where that Nikolaos try to "save" and the Gift? Those where the stolen goods returning to the rightfull owners or those in need.

The "zwarte pieten" were not in fact his helpers but his slaves (mind you the myth originates in the 1500's when slaves were one of the primary sources of health for the then called Dutch Republic. These slaves were black and hence the colour reference, nothing to do with chimneys, that's just some fantasy we tell the kids. It is also not based upon a Germanic feast, it is based on Saint Nicholas or Nikolaos of Myra. There are also tiny differences in the Christmas version (Santa), but those quickly diverge to a discussion about semantics so I won't go in to that here.

Although he made some cute songs as well about places, vegetables and fruits, making poetry of it. And sometimes naughty and dirty as hell. Let me tell you: it's not meant for children, but some songs they can enjoy it as well. His most well known song is about a trojka in Russia with a family travelling to Omsk. While the ride goes on, a pack of wolves is hunting them down. One by one they get eaten by the wolves. They are throwing child after child to them, to have a chance of surviving with many. The contrast is that they sing songs to keep cheered up. In the end they all died with Omsk in sight. Ending with the legendary words: "Omsk is a beautiful city, but just a bit too far." Pure tragedy, but brought very funny and epic!

@DDnufcGamer 10 жыл бұрын

well its not really. Its like saying Halloween is their version of Sint maarten Sinterlaas+christmas= presents (why lots of foreigners confuse them) Sint maarten+halloween= sweets (why that would be a better example) But I agree, most will never understand. But thats like most traditions, if you dont have that tradition you try and compare it to something you know.

The funny part though is that without OUR Dutch Sinterklaas (Who is based on the Turkish bishop St. Nicolas.) the Americans wouldn't even have had any Santa Claus. When the Dutch settlers went off to 'the new world' which has become America they took Sinterklaas with them as a tradition,(Which by the way gets celebrated on 5th december in The Netherlands and on 6th December in Belgium.) and over the years Sinterklaas got combined with 2 other caracters (1 being the German 'Father Christmas') and formed into Santa Clause. And then in 1934 Coca Cola made him into the guy everybody knows now. (And thats also the reason why Santa is in the same colours as the Coca Cola-logo.) And THAT are the simple facts.

You do realize St. Nicholas was a Greek bishop and the magical man bearing gifts in midwinter originates from Germanic paganism and Odin? Americans just got the name "Santa Claus" as a loan from the Dutch. Without Sinterklaas there would totally be a Santa Claus, they'd just still call him Father Christmas.

I am Dutch and I am not offended at all. Just disappointed she has no interest in her own husband heritage and seems to kind of ridicule it, seems weird to me. Also when it's Sinter Klaas not Sinter Klaus. And when Conan said it's Santa claus get with the program i just thought, if you knew that Santa Claus is actually based on Sinter Klaas and would probably not exist otherwise, certainly not the way he is now. It's sort of a joke but also a bit of arrogance when he said that. And the taking back to Spain stems from the early years of Sinter Klaas, back then even the English made up songs to scare kids straight, that's not a weirdly dutch thing. About the kids song I never heard of that song in my life. That is just one of those weird songs that they make up in the corners of Holland or really old songs, because it isn't a popular dutch kid song at all.

@WastyWouterFTW 10 жыл бұрын

You're close, but not entirely. Sinterklaas is based on Saint Nicholas of Myra, a bishop who lived in the 4th century. Saint Nicholas Day and Christmas for us is a different holiday. Christmas is a christianisation of a germanic pagan feast, with Santa Claus actualy being a combination of the French/British tradition Father Christmas and the Lowlands tradition Sinterklaas. So yeah "our take on it" is more legit. The fun fact, however, is that the modern image of Santa Claus was popularised by 1930s Coca Cola adverts.

Just to clear things up: 1. The modern figure of Santa Claus is derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, whose name is a dialectal pronunciation of Saint Nicholas. So Santa Clause actually comes from a dutch tradition, but americans gave it a different name and made it more commercial. 2. Sinterklaas has helpers 'Zwarte Pieten', which is now seen as a racist thing, especially in other countries (because they don't know the history behind it). The history of 'Zwarte Piet' is actually that when he was a slave, Sinterklaas freed him and 'Zwarte Piet' was so thankful that he wanted to stay loyal to Sinterklaas and help him with helping more people, especially children. So he voluntarily stayed. But I understand very well that because of the history and how he looks like, people feel offended. The Netherlands is now changing the way Zwarte Piet looks, so like no golden earrings anymore & some even have different colors like yellow, white or blue. 3. The last thing I want to say is, especially to Americans, please do your research about the Netherlands (and actually whole Europe). It has a lot of history and culture, which should be studied before making such weird statements. Cause this conversation is just full of ignorance.
