This photo on the right is from St Nicholas.
St Nicholas is here on the 5th of december.
You have there Santa Clause.
Here is St Nicholas riding on a horse with his helpers the Black Piet's.
The childeren love this feast because they get candy from the Black Piet.
So when St Nicholas arrive's on a boat with his Black Piet's there is
always a band playing St Nicholas music on this boat.
This time it was our band who had the honor see picture on the right our
band completely dressed up like Black Piet's.
On that day there were about 30.000 childeren waithing for St Nicholas
and his Black Piet's to arrive with his boat.
It gives me and the band a good feeling to play for so many childeren
and parents and see them having so much fun.
