In Holland, it is a tradition to hang a calendar in your toilet room. Not just any regular old calendar but a verjaardagskalender. This is a birthday calendar. It is specifically for birthdays. I guess the thought is that while you're sitting there, you have nothing to do anyways so it's good to be reminded of people's birthdays! With the start of the new year, I thought it only appropriate that we get one for our bathroom.
As you can see, they are typically long and skinny and just have each day of the month with a line by it, to put people's names.
You will find one of these in every "good Dutchman's" home. And even some foreigners homes, adapting new traditions. :)
