I don't...
But Sinterklaas is a Dutch tradition that Santa Clause was derived from, but Sinterklaas is just before Christmas (December 5th) so usually when something is released "before christmas" is just too late to get it as a Sinterklaas-present .
I grew up in Germany, and there was something celebrated the 5th of December there, too. You'd stick your shoes outside that night, and the next day you'd either have coal or a switch, or candy and small presents, depending on how "good" you were that year. I seem to recall having to write something on the door, and St Nick was called Kris Kringle there, if I remember correctly.
Also, Wintereenmas:
