In Belgium, St. Nicholas makes his first visit on December 4th, the eve of his feast day. During this visit, he arrives from Spain, often accompanied by his helper, Zwarte Piet, and distributes small gifts, sweets, and treats to children, rewarding those who have been good. It is a festive occasion that includes parades and celebrations, highlighting the spirit of giving. Children often leave their shoes out with carrots or hay for St. Nicholas's horse in hopes of receiving gifts.
Santa is a magical version of St Nicholas. St Nicholas was a man who used to deliver gifts to the poor children because he was rich and wanted to give the poor gifts because he had alot and was much more fortunate.

In some European countries, such as Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, children put their shoes by the fireplace on the night of December 5th in preparation for St. Nicholas Day. They believe that St. Nicholas will come during the night and fill their shoes with gifts or sweets if they have been good.
Belgian children expect to find their shoes filled with presents, particularly on St. Nicholas' Eve, which is celebrated on December 5th. On this night, they leave their shoes out, often along with carrots or hay for St. Nicholas' horse. In return, St. Nicholas fills the shoes with small gifts and sweets. This tradition is a cherished part of the holiday season in Belgium.
