The Netherlands has something called "Sinterklaas". But I think celebrating children and giving presents to them is something that goes back to the very origin of mankind and can be found all over the world.

Sinterklass is just how the Dutch pronounce Saint Nicolas.

Americans bastardized it to Santa Claus. As we do.
