"Its a Dutch tradition. It is the Dutch version of Santa Clause. This man is very very popular by kids under 10." It's not a dutch version of Santa Clause, because we have Santa Clause too (KerstMan). Sinterklaars looks like Santa.

It is not the version of Santa Clause, Santa's based on SInterklaas, but 'our' Santa CLaus is called "de Kerstman" That means Chrismas guy xD It is just an old tradition, but chistmas is bigger than Sinterklaas ;)

Santa Claus and 'Sinterklaas' share the same origin, but have grown into 2 separate 'persons'/ celebrations. "sinterklaas intocht" is the day 'Sinterklaas' will arrive into the town, ther is also an "official" Sinterklaas intocht, this will be broadcast on national television. In 2012 that will be November 17 in Holland he will arrive in Roermond, in Belgium he will arrive in Antwerp
