Ho, Ho, Ho, and a merry Christmas to one and all!
Life here goes on even on Christmas day. Most of the shops were open including the bakery, the cafes and the general grocery store. Newspapers were being published and public transport was running.
After a rather slow morning admiring what Pere Noel had brought for each of us, we went for a late lunch at Cafe Francoeur just across the road. Since it was Virginia's birthday they made something special of it - much to our surprise - by bringing out a lovely little cake with a huge sparkler attached. Everybody applauded and several people seeing the cake decided that they too would order them (but without the sparkler).
Although we had some plans for the afternoon, being somewhat sated after a very nice meal, we napped, read and decided that we didn't need any dinner. Thus ended a delightful Christmas day.
