my dream holiday destination...


I've often dreamt of spending the Christmas holidays


in another country and experiencing the different traditions


wouldn't that be fun?


I wish I could take my whole family


to Paris for the holidays


to wander the streets


check out the markets


stop in to the Notre Dame to see it in all of it's glory


and to look at all the gorgeous lights


snow would definitely be a bonus



such beautiful colors


Magical indeed!


And of course, we'd need to stop in for desserts - in my
family desserts are one of the main food groups...not kidding!


a cappuccino or a chocolat chaud
would fit the bill perfectly - yum!


If only.....


I had a nice semi busy weekend,
visiting my senior friends,
shopping and more shopping,
watching movies,
listening to Christmas music,
puttering around the house
and just enjoying being.
I hope you did too!

Cheers to a fabulous week for us all!
Smile and be kind to everyone you meet!

  1. I've never spent an actual Christmas in Europe but I've been in Paris and London at Christmastime and it's beautiful. I especially love the different traditions. Since my husband is British, he had the kids write letters to "Father Christmas" and then they burn the letters in the fireplace to transport them to the North Pole!

  2. Spending Christmas away would be different for sure ~ not sure if I could do it but if everyone that you loved was with you then it would more than likely be bearable! Have a great week Cathi! xo
