.........Belgium !!!๐Happy Holidays to everyone and Joyeux Noel !!! As you may have surmised, Brendan is spending the holidays in Brussels with the boys. Why ??? Because traveling is fun and educational, especially for the kids, and Brendan has a lot of frequent flyer miles ๐ซ!!!๐ Like many European cities at Christmastime, Belgium has a lot of Christmas markets ๐and the largest is in Brussels. There are lots of little chalet-esque stalls selling handicrafts,
ornaments, gifts, and FOOD๐. There's also a skating rink⛸️, a nativity with live animals ๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ๐️๐ง(or terrific animatronics๐ค), rides๐ ๐ก, a parade,enough lights to make Clark Griswold VERY happy
and did I mention the food !!!

A White Christmas would've been nice (a pretty little bird ๐ฆtells me that it's snowing in New York๐). It's about 30 degrees in Brussels, so a white New Year's Eve is still a possibility. Oh well, in the meantime, some more delicious fondue๐ฒ๐ง๐ฅฉ๐ฅ and a glass or two of the house red๐ท๐ทwill keep the holiday mood alive ๐!!!
Happy Holidays !!!☃️๐ฆ
