Christmas in France starts tonight (with part of the family only) this year and the "Reveillon"; traditionally an exchange of gifts, drinks and dinner before a catholic christian service at midnight on 24th.....if you can make it. At least you have a little liquid and solid sustenance inside you by then to suffer the cold of the 12th Century Church gladly! Not so many priests around these days so every village can't just go on foot to the local church and Covid is somewhat getting in the way. However as we are a half-British household with both of us having spent considerable parts of our lives in America.....we start again on the 25th with another part of the family.....but not for lunch as it's a little early to hit the table again. In this country we can have it both ways.

Merry Christmas to you all from Provence.

All I want for Christmas....

It would be glorously ironic if the last thing Trump wrecked on his way out the door was the Republican Senate majority.

Merry Christmas, Mitch. How richly you deserve this last gift.
