Description   

Cette f?te, d'origine catholique, est encore c?l?br?e dans la plupart des foyers n?erlandais le 6 d?cembre de chaque ann?e. La veille au soir, les enfants mettent leurs souliers de la chemin?e. Ceux qui auront ?t? sages auront droit ? un cadeau, les autres ? un faisceau de branchette, le martinet de l'?poque. Ce martinet et le motif principal de l'oeuvre. Le petit gar?on de d?signe du doigt. Apparemment, la grand-m?re a cach? un cadeau derri?re le rideau, pour consoler le gar?on puni.
