Yesterday we went to the Danish Christmas Fair in Waterloo, which I mentioned in my post. The Fair was held at the Scandinavian School of Brussels, which is located in a beautiful green area called
Domaine d'Argenteuil. The weather couldn't have been better so it was nice to stay outside, enjoy food, Tuborg Christmas brew and mulled wine. Inside the gymnasium they were selling Danish products: food, candy, Christmas decorations, wreaths and all kinds of things. It was simply wonderful to be there, hear the familiar Danish language and experience another culture for just a day. We'll definitely go back next year.
At the Fair I found the reindeer I've been looking for to put on my Christmas table – yay! We also bought everything to cook a proper dinner, so yesterday we had a feast at home and it kind of felt like Christmas when we sat down at the dining table.
Have a beautiful Sunday!

This looks lovely! After being in the tropics I'm in need of reality check that xmas is just around the corner :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa, you have made me so jealous! This market looks fabulous! The Christmas decorations are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThere is something very special about a Scandinavian Christmas...the fair looks lovely as does the sound of your feast last night. Very envious!
ReplyDeleteAll that food and drink looks delicious. Christmas markets make me happy. There is a German christkindl market here in Chicago that will open after Thanksgiving...I wait for it anxiously every year and then spend way too much money on chocolates and jams and bratwurst.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like great fun! Yummy food. What a fabulous old building.
ReplyDeleteHelen:)
What a wonderful way to begin Christmas celebrations.
ReplyDeleteThe school building looks amamzing!
I do not enjoy Christmas so much in Australia, too hot, the atmosphere is not right for so many of the traditional fun.
Have a good week:)
