Christmas is being celebrated differently around the world; it varies by country and region. However, everywhere there are elements similar around the world, such as lighting the Christmas trees, Christmas stockings, Christmas candles and Christmas carols. Sending Christmas cards, exchanging Christmas greetings and giving and receiving Christmas presents are widely spread.
To bring Christmas a bit closer to all expats staying in Amsterdam during the holiday season, we asked Mrs. Frieda Kruiderink from Ponte Cultura, if she can tell us more about Christmas Celebrations around the globe. Frieda is a great resource for expats in executive corporate positions throughout the Netherlands. She provides individuals insight in cultural intelligence and gives international companies and organizations a deeper understanding of corporate culture.

The Dutch have some particular mannerisms regarding the December month, worth mentioning
to our expat visitor, relocators, or people enjoying a short stay in Amsterdam.
