Posting this for fans of Dickens. I'm part way through, and am enjoying it so much! It's full of wonderful characters and details, very fun.

Yes dear etoile! We are in Paris and soon will drive down to the south to meet the kids’ grand parents, uncles, aunties, and lots of cousins. It’s busy for sure for us. I am way behind on the gift wrapping. Need to get going before 12/30. The whole extended family is doing a Christmas gathering on 12/30, New Year’s Eve on 12/31, and New Year’s Day dinner too. It sounds exhausting frankly. [emoji3]we had to set 12/30 as our Christmas gift exchange because of availability of every family member.
And [emoji320][emoji320]not to mention I still need to drop by my husband’s H home store! Probably need to ask in laws to ship the H boxes back to US. No way I will be able to pack all the gifts plus H boxes.
You have a great holiday season! Happy new year! ️[emoji322]
Dear cremel, I imagine Paris is beautiful this time of year! I've never visited at Christmas. It certainly sounds like you are fully scheduled, plus you had a long journey there from the west coast!
I hope all your preparations and visiting goes smoothly, and that you'll have a bit of time for relaxing, too. Maybe you can slip away for a quick spa treatment, and I suggest that you fortify yourself with dark chocolate! Sending wishes for happy holidays, and a happy new year to you, as well.

Yes I am very much enjoying Paris despite of all the work to look after my darling little ones. They behaved extremely well for the long flight.
Honestly I am hoping one nice dinner once we arrive in the south. We might ask in laws to watch the kids for one night and we sneak out for a nice dinner. I am dying to have a refined dining experience rather than devour anything that’s available in ten minutes. I miss all the good food, escargot, mussels, grilled fine cheese, casslout,beef bourguignon, Niçoise salad, even onion soup and ratatouille!!!

Mmmmmm...that last sentence made my tummy growl! So glad you made it over safe and sound and am staring wistfully off into the light, thinking about that magical city you're in...
I just finished it yesterday and enjoyed it so much! Although a novel, it had me wishing all the details were true.

Tulips to welcome the new year, with our confused maple in the background! It's reliably bright red on the first of January. Wishing everyone peace and joy in the new year!
