Christmas tag

I've been tagged by Robyn form my Mélange for a christmas même so here is my list of the 12 things I love about christmas

• above all I love christmas season because I love to receive wonderful greetings cards from everywhere.This year I was very touched to receive my first christmas card from a new friend : a blogger : TARA from Paris Parfait . Her card was wonderful : a black and white card (I love and collect black and whiet picture) and I love the detail of the " meilleurs voeux" stamp

• I love thinking what would be the best christmas present for everybody, and I like to begin a long time ago before christmas

• I love receiving present and thinking that poeple have thought about me. This morning, I had a wonderful surprise , my new friend and blogger , the Famous Good Fifi , helped by her sister sent me a wonderful present. It touched me so much , she can not even imagine.

Lovely linen cahier with handmade embroidery and a best wishes card from Fifi

• Preparing a "meal " for santa , putting my little shoes to be fulled and putting some papillotes or candies , clementines and ancohol to warm up santa claus. I love to see my little cousins in the morning when they see santa ate almost everything

• because it is time to eat papillotes ( Papa NOel is not the only one)
• It is time in Provence to eat Nougat , suce miel *( have you heard about them?) , and fruits confits they are part of our famous and traditional 13 desserts
• It is time to come out my marvellous little santons , to make my creche

Litle santons in a wonderful creche

• Thinking of the wonderful diner of the 24 th of December and then the dejeuner of the 25 th . My parents are kind of chiefs . Each year they impressed us with special recipes ...they are the best
• It is time to give joy , happinness . To give my love , to show it. Well I should every minute but at this time of the year , it is time to think about it MORE and to think about what I have done wrong ( even if it is not the only moment)
• Sharing a wonderful time with my family , because during the year we sometimes don't have time
• I love to see all my presents and the presents of the poeple I love waiting for us close to the christmas tree
• Spending time eating without having complexes ...come on it is christmas I can eat 1000000000 calories . It is one of my christmas gift ( kidding)

Your santons are beautiful! And I'm glad the card arrived (one never knows about La Poste). What a lovely gift from Fifi! Joyeux Noel, Melanie.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year, isn't it? And that linen cahier is really lovely.

Merry Christmas, Mélanie!

Great santons. I have some new one, though antiques are high up on my wish list!

I got a letter from Tara in the mail today .-)

Your list is great Melanie!!
Papa Noel thinks you have been a VERY GOOD girl this year. In fact, he says you easily deserve 1000000000000000 calories for Christmas!

Will you please take photos of your dinners? I would like to see what your creative parents cook up!!

Great list! We've been so busy this last month that I have hardly had time to think of Christmas apart from presents for my husband and father, and cards of course (from Jan Petr Obr, as always!).
