We're getting ready to our second Christmas in Belgium and I couldn't be happier. We have our little artificial tree decorated, the Nativity set is out and the very fancy battery operated candle sticks are in the windows. We're all ready. Saint Nichola should be here this week, the son will either get some coal or maybe a little gift, it's touch and go really, and he's thinking of things to ask Santa for. Right now the only thing he can come up with is a transformer costume.
The Christmas markets have all started up and I am itching to get to some this year. Last year, with wrestling being so hectic, we didn't get to many. Today, the weather is yucky, but that can't stop me. As I've said before, if we waited around for nice weather, we'd never leave the house. On my agenda is the market in Lille, France. It's about 45 minutes down the road and has a great little website that has perked my interest. http://www.noel-a-lille.com/index_anglais.html
We have some gifts to get still for the siblings back in the States and this year our theme is branching out from just Belgium to the European Union. I'm hoping to pick up some German and French items for the boxes, maybe Italian is I can wait until the 10th to send out the boxes.
Now, the big chore is to get the boys off the couch, dressed and into the car. Wish me luck.
