10 - COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS... festive preparations in the countryside

Bonjour! The week before Christmas is always filled with excitement and joy as we prepare for the big day!
In this video, I invite you to join me for some festive moments in the French countryside.

We start by making Christmas crackers using traditional Italian paper—simple, personal touches that add so much charm to the festivities.
Then, it’s time to wrap gifts with beautiful marbled and John Derian papers, making each present feel truly special.
With Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day brunch ahead, I plan and write down the menu, dreaming up dishes that will bring loved ones together.
A quick trip into town adds a festive sparkle as I soak in the Christmas lights and enjoy some last-minute shopping.

Thank you for watching, and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Advent
