unless you are from Chicago or Antartica and are used to that kind of weather your gonna freeze. I have never been so cold in my like as a December in Amsterdam. But what neat city. I enjoyed the museams there the Rijstik (sp?) more then the Louvre. I know shoot me but I loved it. Have fun there are lots of clubs both straight and gay. It really is a diverse city.

I echo Monique's comment above - I have spent several New Years Eves in Amsterdam and at midnight everyone is on the streets letting off fire crackers. Last time I actually went back to my hotel for an hour to warm up as it was so cold. -17C, windy, frozen canals and iced over cobbled streets. But still a great place.

You might want to check out the Nov/Dec issue of Nationa Geographic Traveler (not to be confused with the regular National Geographic magazine). There is an extensive article on Christmas in Amsterdam with mention of a lot of special events which may spill over into New Years.
