Halloween and Sint Maarten

There is not much difference between Halloween and the Dutch celebration of St. Maarten on November 11th each year. Halloween means that you want candy and that is the same for St.Maarten. This year I won't do St.Maarten. I can't on that day. AtHalloween you say: Trick or three and at St.Maarten you sing a song. Like:Sint Maarten, Sint Maarten, De koeien hebben staarten, De meisjes hebben rokjes aan daar kom Sinte Maarten aan! In English:Sint Maarten, Sint Maarten, The cows have tails, The girls have skirts and there comes Sinte Maarten! And we also sing Elf november is de dag dat mijn lichtje branden mag. In English:Eleven november is the day that my light may shine. Those are the songs you can sing for St. Maarten. By: Christina van der Lelie , 12 years
