Today is Paul's birthday and he is not the only one getting the congratulations. I’ll get them too!!
In The Netherlands you should wish a happy birthday / congratulate the birthday boy as well as his partner, parents and sisters or brothers… sometimes even the friends as well.
Dutch birthday celebrations are quite different than in Spain or Germany. Normally they start around 16:00 with coffee and tart. Everyone will be sitting down around the “salontafel”. After opening the gifts the birthday boy will tidy up the cups and bring finger foods such as cheese, nuts, cheese and tiny toasts and will ask you what you want to drink.
So if you go to a dutch birthday party, congratulate and give three kisses to everyone!!
