Shoes for Sinterklass

In the Netherlands, children hope to get gifts from Sinterklass, or St Nicholas. On St Nicholas’ Eve, the 5th of December, they leave shoes out to be filled with gifts. Well, there’s a problem. We haven’t got any shoes!

Vincent had an idea and went off to the humans’ bedroom, where he’s found a nice big shoe to ‘borrow’. Much better. But I’ve got an idea now…
