New Zealander, British, Australian, Irish, Canadian, and American children also leave a carrot for Santa's reindeer, and are told that if they are not good all year round that they will receive a lump of coal in their stockings, although the actual practice of giving coal is now considered archaic. Children following the Dutch custom for "sinterklaas" will "put out their shoe" (leave hay and a carrot for his horse in a shoe before going to bed, sometimes weeks before the "sinterklaas avond"). The next morning they will find the hay and carrot replaced by a gift; often, this is a marzipan figurine. Naughty children were once told that they would be left a "roe" (a bundle of sticks) instead of sweets, but this practice has been discontinued.
