Garretson Forge & Farm on River Road in Fair Lawn held its Dutch Christmas celebration on Dec. 6. (Above) Wooden shoes are filled with carrots. In the Dutch Christmas tradition, Sinterklaas travels the country to determine if children have been good or naughty. During these weeks, children will leave their shoes by the fireplace, often with carrots or hay for Sinterklaas’ white horse. If he finds that children have been good, he will fill the shoes with treats.
