I must say that I like Santa Claus on a white horse much better than in a sleigh pulled by reindeer!

Sinterklaas, the Dutch equivalent of Santa Claus, holds a child on his horse during his arrival at the roof of the Nemo Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2006. A children's tv program has been accused of bowing to political correctness by turning the Dutch Santa Claus's traditionally black helpers into a rainbow coalition of helpers. Some adults feel that Black Petes, who are usually portrayed by white actors wearing black face makeup and afro wigs, are little more than racist caricatures and have long sought to change or scrap them. But a poll commissioned by the mass-market newspaper De Telegraaf among 5,200 Dutch found that 82 percent were against the move by the tv program 'Sinterklaas News,' which follows the saint's travails in the weeks before gifts are exchanged on Dec. 5, to introduce red, yellow, green, blue and purple 'Petes' and considered the change an affront to tradition.
