I know this will sound like one of the dumbest (not to say off topic) questions ever, but does anybody know what time of the year people start throwing petards and firecrackers in Holland?
I've heard that xmas holidays / nye can be pretty scary from this point of view, just wanted to know if they start around november - just like they do here in italy..........

weird question, sure, fact is FIRECRACKERS GET ME PARANOID...........: - (

Officially, firecrackers are only on sale during the last three days of the year, and then only to people older than 15. They may only be lit from December 31st, 10:00 a.m. until January 1st, 03:00 a.m.

But that's just officially..... And this is Holland.... ;-)

So:
Between Xmas and New Year you'd better avoid groups of youngsters on the streets, or you may well find yourself running for cover.

Ciao,
K.
