Already trying to plan my 4th trip to Amsterdam ( I came back a week ago only ) I wonder if it is a good idea to spend the night of 24th or 31st of December in Amsterdam, considering my big interest is visiting window girls in the Walletje :)
Are girls more difficult to find at night ? More busy ? More expensive ? Is the RLD more crowded than usual ? Is the "good spirit of Christmas" a compensation of those possible drawbacks ?
Any advice or report are very welcome !

It is "hit or miss" between Dec. 24-31. Not the best time to monger but the City is festive and fun.
Ollie Bollies, Girls in Santa Hats, Hot Wine, Cold Wind, etc.. Smoke shops and bars are lively but you will find that a lot of windows are closed. A few top performers will work hard after Christmas since they spent all their money on gifts. NYE, get laid by 14:00 or be prepared to settle for a Oude Church gal :-)

Thanks for bringing up this topic. I will be in Ams from 12/28-1/1, and I was wondering the same .... Can anyone comment on the percentage of windows that might be closed ??
Thanks 420 for the tip about getting some before 2 Pm on New Years Eve.. Was hoping to hit on someone on NYE around 9-11. Would sort of be a great way to ring in the New Year. Can any local resident comment on this possibility ? Maybe Pijp or the Singel ??
Maybe a prive would be the way to go, even though I have never done that before
Regards,

OK, thanks for reply, kind of logical that many windows will be closed, that's vacations for everyone.
The 2 weeks preceding Christmas seems to be the best deal of the year in many hotel, I will try my luck during this period.
Strangely, 24th December is a cheap night in many hotel, but 31st is a different story ...

Not that strange. Think about it, most people stay with their family over Christmas, so the hotels know they'll be clamoring for business. On the flip-side, NYE has everyone staying in hotels. The partiers need a place to sober up for the night or to continue the party after Dam Square finishes doing it's thing. The hotels know they'll have no vacancy, and will price their rooms accordingly.
Cheers,
Soy
