This fits with the whole Christmas build-up, but deserves its own post. Why? Because last Thursday we had our very first Thanksgiving. Our American friends took over the flat and prepared delicious dishes that would then within minutes vanish into people's bellies. I can see the appeal of the holiday: lovely food, everyone is together and afterwards everyone falls into a slight food coma from having eaten far too much.
On Saturday we then had our second (none in 27 years and then 2 in one week) Thanksgiving dinner at a Belgian household, where similarly delicious dishes were served. Again, everyone was together, this time discussing the choice of new Commissioners. For obvious reasons the Belgians were very happy!
So, this is a holiday to keep an eye out for, because you can always be thankful for something and if you keep the Adam's Family values in mind (or watch it after dinner), it's very entertaining too.

hmmmm? Belgians celebrating the new President is one of theirs? wonder if they've wondered why the big member states didnt want to have anyone any good at his/her job in that role? bit like the hugely famous woman that the UK put forward? I cant even remember her name ! I hope the food went down well though !
