1 Answer

Answer :

We have two days, Eerste Kerstdag, en Tweede Kerstdag, and if you are a couple, you have the luck to go to at least these two days, visiting your parents, and your SO’s parents. If you are really lucky, you, and your SO, have divorced parents (who remarried) so you get a Derde, and a Vierde Kerstdag. ~
