@Nisse_Hult hmm, the English speaking world still does more with the -eve than NL.
In the English speaking world, the dinner is on the -eve and the presents, celebrations, etcetra are on the -day right? In NL, presents are often but not always on Saint Nick's Eve (St. Nick's Day is on December 6th, but while some countries celebrate the day we only celebrate the -eve, so the presents are on the evening of December 5th), and both Christmas celebrations and dinner are on Christmas Day. The day after is also free, and mostly used for visiting families or walking around in IKEA. The day after Easter is also free, and also spent walking around in IKEAs a lot. Yes, that's how the Swedes shaped our holidays!
