National traditions of Netherlands
Dutch have the special attitude for dining. For example, there is a rule called 'one cup - one cookie' in their culture, and they are still strictly observing it. They do not eat yesterday's food, so they usually cook as much as they can eat. However, the Dutch are very fond of the holidays. They are happy to celebrate the triumph of the royal family, national holidays, and birthdays. A person of a different culture will be very surprised by the Dutch birthday party. At the celebration, it is customary to congratulate not only the hero of the day, but all those present too.
