Christmas holiday
Statistics Netherlands has an explanation for the high number of year olds on this day. Nine months ago it was December 30. “It has everything to do with the Christmas holidays. It is the end of the year, it’s dark, it is cold, it is to. We are free time. We will all crawl a little closer to each other. Nine months later a lot of children come out,” said CBS.
