How can I send a letter or postcard? Put your own name and address in the back of the letter ...Then it can always be returned if there is a problem. Put the address of the receiver in the front, always with the Post Code. Light letters within The Netherlands need one Dutch postal stamp, heavy ones and international ones need more. Normal post you put in orange postal boxes in the street. But on which side? If the postal code is regional and fits within the numbers on the left side: put it right. If the postal code is further away (not in the region), you put it in the left side ‘other postcodes’ Public holidays in 2021 01 Jan Fri 02 Apr Fri 04Apr Sun 05 Apr Mon New Year's Day Good Friday EasterSunday Easter Monday 13 May Thur 23 May Sun 24 May Mon 25 Dec Sat 26 Dec Sun Ascension Day Whit Sunday Whit Monday Christmas Day 2nd Day of Christmas
