In the States the one having the birthday gets treated. In Holland, the one having the birthday treats. This can be so much fun especially if it isnt a "big" birthday.
The typical birthday party in Holland takes place at home. You invite your friends and family over. You provide beer, wine and whatever you know your guests will want to drink. You also provide snacks. You can choose between what YOU like or what you know your guests like. Most snacks consist of platters passed around....sausage and cheese, other snacks, warm deep fryer thingies...It is just totally different than home.
Big birthdays.....40, 50, 60...can be really expensive. Most expect a big party in a ballroom somewhere where no one had to do any work. I, personally, prefer to do it the American way!!! That said..I will next blog about Thanksgiving!
