Happy Halloween
Belgians may go ga-ga over Halloween, but sorry, no candy for those who can't even do trick or treating right.

Gobble gobble
Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Americans! For those that are interested, Pumpkin and Pecan were the lucky turkeys who received this year's Thanksgiving pardon from outgoing President George W. Bush. Enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving!

Trick or Treat!
Candy corn is the preferred Halloween treat of choice for two out of four respondents to a Belgofile poll, followed by Mini-Mars bars and Sweet tarts. Have a safe & happy and sweet-filled Halloween!

It's official...
...summer has arrived! It's June 20, the Summer Solstice (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), and coincidentally the birthday of Lionel Richie and Nicole Kidman. Here's hoping for a sunny summer everywhere!

Leapin' lizards
Wow, Feb. 29 -- a whole extra day of 2008! Happy birthday to all leaplings (7,349 in Belgium and about 200,000 in the U.S.) who have a birthday once every four years. How will YOU spend your extra 24 hours this year?

Have a heart
Valentine's Day -- a good excuse to feast on chocolate, whether in the chocolate capital (Belgium) or elsewhere. Also anniversary of a certain notorious event in a certain town, starting with C, ending with O, with 'hicag' in the middle,' in 1929.
