That’s it, we are there! December! The best month of the year. Hot wines on Christmas markets, bright decorations, meals with friends, family, colleagues! And the little sweets that we offer to show that we love each other. Christmas shortbread cookies?
And yes, I am, in a way, an eternal romantic. On Saturday November 30, we had nothing planned for the evening, we were just the three of us, so we took the opportunity to go down to the cellar and go up with our arms full of Christmas decorations.
And as we had saved time, on Sunday December 1st we spent it opening the first doors of our advent calendars and making Christmas cookies with Julie! Watch her apply the egg yolk with her little hands in her beautiful Sunday dress! I am in love and so happy to know and live with this little piece!
My colleagues had the immense privilege 🙂 in tasting some Monday morning as well as one of our neighbors!
