Apparently in Dutch culture, Saint Nicholas or Sinter Klass arrives many weeks before Christmas day, riding a white horse and followed by a group of black faced men and women, known as the Zwarte Piet (or Black Peter). This program was what I was greeted with when I arrived in my hotel in Amsterdam. I think the combination of the miming and black face is what leads it to be so completely terrifying.
