    Sinterklaas is the Dutchification of St. Nicolas.

    We do say Sint Nicolaas sometimes instead of Sinterklaas.
    There are also a lot of traditional songs about de Sint.

    And some new ones....

    No, there is no Krampus in the story. Sinterklaas is a childrens holiday here, all about the joy of getting presents.

    Krampus is not dutch. More german so it seems.
