Erotic massages in Amsterdam in the December weeks before Christmas, ahead of the peak run
The first three weeks of December have a character all their own in Amsterdam: lights on the canals, the light festival running, shops busy until the evening. They are also ordinary dates for the deposit, which sets them apart from the run that starts at Christmas.
Visitors who come in early December find the canals strung with lights, the artworks of the light festival glowing along the water after dark, and the shopping streets full until the evening. For a booking, those weeks behave very differently from the ten days that follow them, and knowing where the line falls saves a surprise in the thread.
Ordinary dates until Christmas
The house's peak run covers the days from Christmas to New Year. Before it, December is ordinary for the deposit. A returning guest asking on the day for one or two hours at a city address pays the whole fee at the door, and a first booking sends half first, as on any date. If your date sits close to the edge of the run, ask in the thread; the peak date note sets out the list.
Office parties and busy Fridays
December is the month of works dinners and office parties, and on Thursday and Friday evenings restaurants and hotel bars fill with groups. That has two effects. Visitors in town for a party of their own may want a late booking afterwards, and the late evening hours on those nights go sooner than in November. A message sent in the afternoon is wiser than one sent at eleven.
Shopping weekends
December Saturdays bring day visitors and short-break shoppers into the centre, and the streets around Dam Square, the Kalverstraat and the Nine Streets stay crowded until the shops close. By evening the centre empties a little, and a booking after dinner is easy to arrange.
Where the season begins
The season's first event is the arrival of Sinterklaas, usually on a Sunday in mid-November, when a procession of boats and then a parade bring families into the centre in daylight. Its evening is quiet, and like the rest of the season it is an ordinary date.
Warm rooms and early dark
With sunset around half past four, December evenings start early. Warm the room well before she arrives, close the curtains, and choose an hour that leaves the rest of the evening for the lit canals or a late dinner. The light festival page covers the season's evenings in more detail.
Planning across into the peak run
If your trip starts before Christmas and runs on into the holiday, the bookings inside the run carry half ahead and those before it do not. The New Year page covers the last days of the year, and the one free move can shift a booking out of the run or into it while there is more than a day to go.
