A WEDDING IN LONDON MEANT WE WERE A LITTLE LATE IN COMING HOME THIS YEAR.
SO WE MISSED THE WHOLE TREE CUTTING RITUAL.
LUCKILY, WE GOT A LITTLE VIDEO OF THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE
JUST THE THING TO GET US IN THE SPIRIT:
WE ARRIVED IN THE COUNTRY IN THE NICK OF TIME FOR CHRISTMAS EVE
(WE HAD A NIGHTMARE ABOUT SPENDING CHRISTMAS IN NEWARK AIRPORT, BUT LUCKILY THE GODS SAW US THROUGH, ALL THE WAY TO SNOWY CAZENOVIA)
WE KNOW WHERE WE BELONG.
WE DOVE RIGHT IN
DONNING SANTA PYJAMAS
EACH YEAR THE MINX OUTDOES HIMSELF WHEN IT COMES TO GINGERBREAD ARCHITECTURE.
THIS YEAR, AN INDUSTRIAL SHOP LIGHT WAS INSERTED TO LIGHT UP THOSE RED GLAZED WINDOWS.
IT WAS VERY BRIGHT:
AND THE BUCHE DE NOEL:
NOTE THE COSMOPOLITAN IN THE BACKGROUND, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WHEN ASSEMBLING THE BUCHE.
WE GORGED OURSELVES LIKE PIGLETS, OF COURSE
MAMAN LOOKING GLAM IN COGNAC COLOURED LEATHER
(YOU GOTTA DRESS UP WHEN JESUS GETS BORN)
THE BOYS, THE BUCHE AND CANNOLI
THE BEAUTIFUL DOODLE
AND THE DOG BABIES TOO.
JASPER SAYS
I LOVE YOU, MERRY CHRISTMAS, PLEASE CAN I HAVE SOME MORE?
