My second best Christmas memories are from decades ago. I was a tot, and in the late afternoon of December 24, Dad always took me to a movie (usually a Disney animated feature) while Mom stayed home to set up the tree and arrange the presents under it. My very best Christmas memories are a bit more recent; they are about seeing the excitement in my own children’s eyes mixing with the reflection of the (always real) candles on our (just as real) Christmas tree. My parents are long gone, my kids are grown up, and we haven’t had a Christmas tree in many years. What remains is the family celebration, a simple but good dinner (foie gras and saumon fumé tonight)... and Christmas carols. Here is one of my favorites for you. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays to you all!
