Christmas In BelgiumOn the sixth of December Sinterklaas or Saint-Nicholas is
celebrated, which is an entirely different holiday from Christmas. Santa Claus
in Belgium is called de Kerstman or le Père Noël and he does come around on
Christmas day to bring children presents. There are different cultures in
Belgium, the Northern part being Vlaanderen (speaking a Dutch dialect), the
Southern part being Wallonie (speaking a French dialect) and the Eastern part
speaking German.
Small family presents are given at Christmas too, under the tree, or in stockings near the fire-place, to be found in the morning. Christmas breakfast is a special sweet bread called 'cougnou' or 'cougnolle' - the shape is supposed to be like baby Jesus. Some families will have another big meal on Christmas day.
