Rainbow trout? Probably not. It's one of a box of glass animal ornaments that Ken gave me in 1985. They are among my favorite ornaments. I've only broken one of the six since then. Not bad for a guy with ten thumbs.
Nothing fishy here.
Today we pick up the holiday bird, a guinea fowl capon, at the special marché de noël in Saint-Aignan. We still do the holiday thing American style. In France, the réveillon de noël is celebrated late at night on Christmas eve with a big meal that often includes a roast turkey. Neither one of us likes to eat a big meal just before bedtime even if we could stay up that late, so we'll have ours on Christmas day. But fear not! We'll enjoy our annual tradition of a cheese fondue on Friday.
The glass fish is wonderful. We’ve got a glass pickle, ballet slipper, and pig, among other sentimental glass ornaments. The fish collection is very unusual.
ReplyDeleteI love this ornament!
ReplyDeleteThat fish looks pregnant!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy hearing about your ornament collection and seeing them, too.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Eve, Eve from Eve.
