They celebrate "Sinterklaas-avond" (earlier version of the American Santa Claus). Usually with gifts and poems. Old bearded guy but skinnier than the American version.
With Sinterklaas (a Dutch festival celebrated at december 5 but it's preparations are always weeks before that) children let a shoe stand in the room so that Sinterklaas can put a gift in it.

Nothing at all! Santa Claus does not come to Dutch children, so they don´t need the stocking. They get presents on December 5th from a Santa-lookalike called Sinterklaas and he puts presents in shoes
Dutch children hang up their stockings by the fireplace for Sinterklaas to fill with treats and gifts on the eve of St. Nicholas Day (December 5th). This tradition is similar to hanging stockings for Santa Claus in other parts of the world.
Sinterklaas is the Dutch equivalent of Santa Clause. He comes on the eve of the Feast Day of St Nicholas, December 5.
Nobody is always happy. Dutch children are also not always happy.
