I want to come to Belgium. I’m soooo tired of summer. And we were having breakfast in Cracker Barrel today, September SEVENTH, and guess what? They had Christmas decorations up for sale. I’m not even joking.

I am so excited about my first Belgian Christmas. In the UK it’s similar to the states and I’m really looking forward to the more old fashioned style here.

I’m sorry things are bleak there weather wise… We finally have summer here in Wisconsin. Seriously. We didn’t have 80 degree weather until mid-August. It was crazy. Of course, now we need some cool nights and rain for the apples and pumpkins and we’re not getting them.

I like how you do Christmas there, though. I’d love it if I didn’t have to deal with the holidays before December. I hate seeing Christmas decorations with the Halloween costumes. Hate it. I’ll be swinging that bag of flaming chestnuts right with you.

You need to experience an Aussie Christmas.

Stinking hot.

The busiest and most exciting time of the year starts on Thursday. It’s birthday season here!

What a great series of descriptions…I love the way you write! And of course, one of those snow days was the day after we arrived in Gent! I mean, I had to bring a piece of Pittsburgh with me, didn’t I?? ;P

I’m a counter, too. It helps, doesn’t it?

the chesnet trees are turning? No? Not good enough? I can’t compare with pittsburg

but yes yes yes I hate autumn because it prevents me to do all summery things I love so much.

oh it rains most in July and second most in August though if you learn about our climate. Really it’s true! considerably more. But usually in bigger quantities when it rains (eg an impressive down pour during a thunderstorm as opposed to a long drizzly day) and if the rain gets alternated with hot days you don’t notice as much in the summer.

Oh and do forgive us for our crappy Halloween. It only showed up here during the last 10 years and I think we shouldn’t even attempt to copy a foreign holiday. It’s not ours and we suck in our half imitation.

glad you enjoy our winters ! :p

Aaaah, it’s good to read you love at least something about Belgium! ROFL!! But I do think you get a lot more rain and a lot less color on the trees where you are? Okay, the last couple of days have been windy and a lot chillier than Summer, but still. There has been a blue sky each and every day here. And I KNOW, because I’m very allergic to grey! Hugs. I loved reading this post!
