This sign leads visitors up to the ruins of the old château in Montrichard.
So that, and maybe "A Charlie Brown Christmas" will be our evening before retiring to visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads. What the heck is a sugar plum, anyway?

This way to the donjon
It's the eve. Ken and I will be making our traditional cheese fondue. Then we're likely to watch "The Homecoming, a Christmas Story," which is the 1971 made-for-television movie that launched the "Waltons" series in the US. Call me sentimental, but that movie always makes me cry. Patricia Neal was wonderful.

Isn't a sugar plum a properly candied plum? My old Pa used to get a box of candied fruit for dear Ma-Ma each Christmas... and I used to aim straight for the plum! 'Swonderful... 'smarvelous... and totally unlike a wrinkled prune!!

Walt, I'm finally getting caught up on my reading, I've missed catching up with you and Ken. My heart leapt when you said you watch the Walton's Christmas special with Patricia Neal. Me too. Wouldn't miss it for the world. I hope you, Ken, Callie and Bertie had a wonderful Christmas.
