Christmas Around the World

With the unseasonably warm temps here, Christmas seems months away. But, of course, it's right around the corner, or in this case about 7 Metro stops away.  We venture to La Defense, home of the city's biggest Christmas Market. It's the downtown area that we really have no use for in a typical visit, but what's not to like about 300 plus Christmas booths!

Truly, the best xmas market we've been too, it's chock full of delicious delicacies from across the globe. Margaritas and burritos anyone? Corsican beer? Tunisian feast?  A flavor fest awaits. What also awaits is insanely high priced nougat, but holy crap it's good. And did I mention the cute boots of beer? Pere Noel did not make an appearance, but Pierce had fun hanging in his workshop nonetheless.

A lovely scarf also finds its way into my heart and on my neck.  I mean, I had to, I only brought one to Paris! That's almost a sin.

A big day with an actual plan tomorrow and an early wake up time awaits.
