a French family christmas



Running around today shopping; preparing for my eldest coming home this evening YAY!; posting packages ..... so - for the moment - I bring you some lovely images of a house in the South of France decorated for a family Christmas.





Candles, a tree, a nativity crèche set up in the kitchen, chandeliers swathed in muslin and garlands of green and crimson.  A grand setting but a fairly simple approach to decorating.  But as you know, true French elegance is always simple!





Many French homes will set up a crèche at this time of year, the little figures used to illustrate the nativity story are called Santons and are collectors gold!






I hope your preparations are going well,
I'll be back soon with more
