Our Christmas in St Pois

The trees for sale Christmas on eve; blue, black white and red. We didn't buy one.

We did buy a bouche de Noel; a Christmas log.  It was delicious!

Our home owners left us a decorated tree with lots of presents underneath!

It was a two bottles of French sparkling wine celebration!

This was the tree in the middle of the dining table.  It looks like wood, but it isn't.
Celebrating a holiday in a different country, calls for different traditions.  We had wonderful cheeses and breads, French sparkling wines, a Bouche de Noel for dessert.  Our home owners left a pile of gifts under the tree for us; so very thoughtful!  Some of the presents were traditional English Christmas foods, as Vic and Heather are English, but living in France.  We had quite the feast!
