[Dutch/English->German] Can someone help me translate a few simple sentences into German for my Saint Nicholas poem?

My dad has been trying to learn German so I thought I'd include a little 'exam' in my poem. I haven't touched German with a ten-foot-pole since high school though so I'll need a bit of help. Feel free to translate any Saint Nicholas themed words very literally if there isn't a clear translation.

1 'In Duitsland hebben ze veel feestdagen' 'They have many holidays in Germany'

2 'De stoomboot van Sinterklaas had ernstige vertraging vanwege een treinstoring' 'Saint Nicholas' steamboat was severely delayed because of a train malfunction'

3 'Piet ontdekte dat iemand al zijn strooigoed had opgegeten' 'Pete discovered that someone had eaten all his ?scattering candy?'

4 'De strak georganiseerde zakencultuur in Duitsland zal een hele verandering zijn voor Sinterklaas' 'The rigidly organised business culture in Germany will be a considerable change for Sinterklaas'
