In New Amsterdam, festivities began with St. Nicholas Eve in early December and carry on until early January. In fact, in the Court Minutes of New Amsterdam, the December 14, 1654 entry includes this interesting resolution:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:40px;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\">As the winter and holidays are at hand, the Burgomasters and Schepens resolve, that there shall be no ordinary meeting between this date and three weeks after Christmas. Wherefore the Court Messenger is ordered not to summon any person, in the meantime, to a regular Court. Done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">DORIS is not taking such an extended holiday.
