    Sinterklaas is the origin of Santa Claus, you may hear the similarity in name. Sinterklaas has been the Netherlands' holiday for years, maybe centuries.

    Then people came to the Netherlands and tried to take it home to the USA, but they changed the name to make it easier to pronounce, and they made him fatter and gave him a sleigh and such, while in the Netherlands Sinterklaas has a steamboat, but well, the USA doesn't have enough water for that :P
