The Spirit of Sinterklaas

He was Odin.

And Good King Wenceslas.

Pere Noel, Father Frost.

Then he was St. Nicholas.

He became Sinterklaas.

Then Santa Claus.

He’s even been called

“Sandy Claws.”


He is Mother Theresa, Ghandi,
the Dailai Lama & Schindler.

But whatever name
we have
called him,
he has always been the same.

He loves children, is generous,

protects and honors the poor,

brings blessings and gifts,

protection, food and clothing. 


He comes at the darkest time

to remind us of the light. 


He is the good king,
the kind teacher; 

he “flies” to those in need,

the creatures all love him, 

he comes with good intent.

His bag is really full of love

and hope and caring...


He is humanity at its best.
