Spirit of Christmas

Middle of December and we were in need of sunglasses. The village Christmas market took place in front of the Mairie in glorious sun shine and itt was even too hot to wear a Santa hat. As usual, the association sold mulled wine to help swell its coffers and as usual it was Christian and myself who made it. So, it was an early start for a Sunday morning coming down to the smell of Christmassy spices in the kitchen. It seems that our efforts  were appreciated as all that we'd made was sold. For the first time in 7 years, we didn't do the whole day. We finished at 1pm and went to the bar for lunch with the DJ, Father Christmas and his daughter, the Mayor and his wife and Carmen.
This evening there was a Christmas concert in the Church with carols in French, English, Italian, Catalan and Spanish, followed by an apéritif. Only 10 days to go!
