English Translation of Main Headlines
This ad ran on the fifth of December: Saint Nicholas Day. Saint Nicholas is the Dutch version of Santa Claus. Every year on the fifth of December he rides his white horse on the rooftops across the Netherlands to surprise all the children with presents. In this ad for the Dutch insurance company Centraal Beheer Achmea, Saint Nicholas and his horse bring a rather unfortunate surprise to a couple in their bedroom right underneath the roof.
