    To see Brugge during the Christmas season must be a wonder even the camera cannot capture. I’ve been to Brugge twice and absolutely love this beautiful Belgium town. The dark chocolates, the Palm beer, waffles, and frites oh my - heaven does exist! Thank you, Julie, for taking us along your journey to a world treasure simply known as Brugge. Yes, you definitely need to make this a yearly pilgrimage. ❤

    What amazed me was the shops' display windows! They're so beautiful and exciting. Long, long ago, I worked for a dept store, and the display windows, especially at Christmas, were a major production I loved being involved with. Alas, stores no longer do the work of designing & creating wonderful displays, not even at Christmas. Maybe slip a dress over a mannequin, and that's it. Definitely uninspiring. These shop displays made me so much want to go in & explore.

    • @trishg5820
      @trishg5820 Рік тому

      There was a department store in Portland, Oregon called Meyer & Frank (Clark Gable used to work there). It took up a whole block with dress windows surrounding the entire building. At Christmas every window was decorated with an animatronic "12 days of Christmas" scene. You walked slowly around the building watching each scene as it unfolded starting with a partridge in a pear tree. It could take an hour to view them all. Inside looked like Macy's at Christmas. It was jam packed with decorations & people & felt very much like shopping in New York. The upstairs was all Christmas stuff & they had a miniature toy train that ran the entire room but up high so you could view but not touch. My daughter got to experience the wonder once before they closed their doors some 25+ yrs ago. The world can be a scary place sometimes; we need the little things like dept stores at Christmas to brighten our days. Thanks for bringing so much of us joy & wonder this holiday season.

    I grew up by a Danish village in California called Solvang. It was magical year round but especially at Christmas. The buildings were different as they were Danish inspired (a lot of them looked like the red painted restaurant you pointed out) but otherwise it reminded me of Christmas in Brugge. All the lights & decorations & the shopping. There was the Hans Christian Andersen theater & the bakeries with all their confections in the window to entice young & old. There were miniature boat races for a quarter & animatronic puppets. Carriage rides but no snow (too warm there) and Michael Jackson's Neverland just around the bend (Bo Derek lives there too). Unfortunately, it's fallen in hard times lately but I hope it returns to it's former glory. Everyone deserves a little magic in their life.
