wishing you a happy holiday season

by Sharon Santoni

 

It has been a big year here at My French Country Home.    We have welcomed guests from around the world on our brocante and luxury tours, seen the publication of a second book, and launched My Stylish French Box, sending my favourite French products to all corners of the planet.

I am so happy to be at  the Christmas weekend, enjoying the family, preparing our favourite meals and of course asking the dogs to pose for their annual and ever-so-kitsch christmas card.

If you are new to the blog, you may not know that Gibson and Ghetto’s Christmas card is a tradition here,  our little thank you note to the amazing readers who stop by so regularly.   I say it every year, because I mean it every year.  Without your presence and your support this blog would have no reason to exist.

We wish you a very happy Holiday season, I hope that you too enjoy some quality time with those you love and that 2018 will bring you health and happiness.

A very Merry Christmas to you all. As always, I have enjoyed your posts all year, and this one is no exception. I just found your book at the local book store, and immediately found myself looking through the section about Christmas. Thank you for helping me remember times in France. May the coming year bring you many blessings.

Thank you Sharon for creating My Stylish French Box – the Nov Holiday box was absolutely beautiful!! I’m burning my “Casse Noisette” candle as I write this note. Your blog is a terrific read, including your recent installments of literary fiction. I look forward to what you share with your readers in 2018.

Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2018. I look forward to your blog with its inspirational photos and love the little stories! I think you should put together a set of seasonal and/or situational short novels/stories! Actually, you have inspired me to write my own using my experiences/photos of traveling in France. Anyway, love your blog

Thank you for inspiring me to never give up my love for France & French things!! It started when I was a small child & my part in the song, “12 Days of Christmas” was “3 French Hens…” ever since then I wanted to know all about French life Very strange, I know but that’s me in a nutshell!! All the best to you in 2018 ❤️ Judy

Merry Christmas from Vancouver!! (Thankfully, with the orthodox Christmas just around the corner, I’m not ‘late’ in wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and many blessings for 2018;)!) In addition to all the lovely photos, short stories and your reviews of all things French and Parisian, I love seeing Gibson, Ghetto and the neighbour’s horses! Please don’t stop posting their Christmas photos!! xo Zina

I agree that such a gift can offer any woman therapeutic effects and a euphoric boost. However, it’s a relatively mild solution in the battle against stress, and I recommend trying something like CBD edibles and weed. These gummies and chocolates can provide you with a significant mood lift and all-day stress relief. Moreover, if you’re looking to combat insomnia, you can consider girl scout cookies https://westcoastsupply.cc/product/girl-scout-cookies/ to help you achieve a restful night’s sleep.
