And in the Netherlands and Belgium and other parts of Europe, Sinterklaas is still separate from Santa, even though his name is derived from Sinterklaas, because Sinterklaas came with American settlers and Dutch American settlers over to America and Sinterklaas.

And then it came back into the rest of the world from America. So it's a very convoluted way that we get the name from St. Nicholas to Santa Claus. But yeah, on the 16th of November this year, Sinterklaas arrived on the Netherlands in his steamboat from Madrid, because Sinterklaas and Santa Claus are two very different people. And kids in

To less extent than people would think. The modern Santa is American invention. In the early 1800s, There was a poem called And Old Santa Claus with Much Delight was published in a poetry book for children in 1821 in New York. And that had the first illustrations of Santa and a reindeer. And then a couple of years later, in 1823, we have the famous poem, The Visit from St.

Nicholas, or Twas the Night Before Christmas. And that's when we learned about the reindeer. And he was described in that as a jolly old elf. When printing and magazines came along in the later 1800s, especially Harper Collins and things like that, we got the illustrations from Thomas Nast, which developed him into the much chubbier, tubbier, plumpy one that we think of as Santa today.
