Sinterklaas was the original Santa Claus created by the Dutch.
Or something.
Did you also know that New York used to be called New Amsterdam, until the dutch sold it to the British for some hot climate colony.

Swapped it for a Tulip probably
My money's on Stanta Claus being a phonetic derivative of the german St. Nikolaus (the patron saint of children) The whole modern day christmas story started in England with Prince Albert when he married Queen Victoria and she adopted the German tradition.
Or then again it may be something to do with Coca Cola.
