I consider Super Bowl sunday an American holiday, and it's one of my favorites. Even if you're not a sports fan, the food, the commercials, the halftime show and the inevitable "malfunctions" make it worth partaking. And, like other holidays, the ritual of getting together with friends and family is the best part.
I was a little disappointed when I realized that the big game would be airing at 12:30 a.m. our time, but very excited when an American couple we know invited us to a Super Bowl brunch. It was a lovely affair--lots of yummy brunch food and a dozen or so homesick Americans. They even had last year's Super Bowl game on the background in case anyone forgot why we were gathered together. I ended up finding out who won the game this morning, but still feel we continued the tradition here (minus the football, of course).
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the snow stuck! Here's what Super Bowl sunday looked like in Brussels:
