Calendar page displaying empty boxes and not days and numbers - $this->date
Let me start by referring you to PHP's DateTime implementation. There is a library called Carbon that uses this DateTime implementation and added almost all the methods you have (but better). So there really is no need to create your own just to be able to display Dutch names. That way to can get rid of the nasty "globals".

Creating a Neat DateTime Helper Function in PHP
Working with datetime in PHP could be a real pain if you don't take advantage of popular libraries like Carbon. It's all good until you have to convert dates provided on user input into another timezone (eg. UTC) and vice versa. Other example could be that you have to manage various input datetime formats, and sanitize them into a consistent one before saving it to database.

Carbon - Float Difference in Months Filtered
Be careful of floatDiffInMonths() which can gives you a lower result (number of months in A < number of months in B) for an interval having more days (number of days in A > number of days in B) due to the variable number of days in months (especially February). By default, we rely on the result of DateTime::diff which is sensitive to overflow. See issue #2264 for alternative calculations.
