It’s almost Christmas, and I’m off to indulge myself in the true Christmas spirit.
Like most places in Europe, Antwerp (Belgium) is a quieter place on Christmas day.
For many of us, the spirit of Christmas has been reduced to a wild shopping spree, a weird time to max out our credit cards and eat until we drop.
For some people it’s a religious experience, a time to contemplate.
For most inhabitants of this planet Christmas means nothing at all.
Before I take a short Christmas break, I would like to thank you - all of you: my +26,000 unique visitors who kept on reading this blog, even when I had almost nothing substantial left to write about.
Obviously, Christmas wouldn’t be fun without the nice folks who tried to deliver over 4,000 pieces of spam-comments during 2006, an unwanted gift that ended up being auto-deleted, although a few must have been kind of funny.
Enjoy the turkey, and no, I really don’t want anything from this gift list
