Like sands through the hourglass...

So here we are at another Christmas Eve (it's not Christmas and stop calling me Eve!). We'll spend the day puttering in the kitchen, mostly. Ken's heading out this morning to pick up the pintade we ordered for tomorrow's meal. As for today, we'll make our traditional cheese fondue.

Low tide in la baie de Saint-Michel, Normandy, June 2006.

Many French people stay up until (and after) midnight eating and drinking (and some attending Midnight Mass) with their families. The meal is called le réveillon de Noël (Christmas Eve). We never make it to midnight, so we don't try. I'm not sure we ever did. We do things the American way with the big meal on Christmas Day.
