Every year the Belgians doll up the Grand Place in Brussels for Christmas. They erect a huge tree with blue and white lights, a life-size creche display which is both very realistic (they use real sheep) and very unrealistic (sorry, but I just can't believe that the real Mary resembled this plastic model, which is a spitting image of Nicole Kidman!), and then project a very modern (and thus not at all traditional) light show on the facade of the city hall. It's nice to see, but on a bitterly cold and windy December night it does make you wish that Christmas, at least in Belgium, could fall in July...
