The photo at the top (guy on bike) is NOT about Christmas. It is Sint Nicolaas (St Nicholas), whose birthday is celebrated on December 5, in the Netherlands and Belgium, with presents for the children and sometimes for adults. A bishop in Myra from the fifteenth century. The Dutch name is Sinterklaas.
