Is it possible that Sinterklaas celebration was derived from Christmas celebration? St. Nicholas is well known throughout the Christian-colonized world as the saint associated with Christmas celebrations, I thought. Plus, I think that Christmas Dec. 21-25 celebrations are very old, coming from Roman holidays themselves, so it would make sense that these things are relatively fluid culturally. Perhaps I am mistaken, though.
