This has been the third Christmas I have in France. As usual we have lots of good food. My boyfriend's parents have been cooking the whole day. In his family, we put a shoe on the floor and people will put the presents around the shoe. We have many courses of meals, so in between meal we open a present. That was fun!!
We celebrated New Year in a castle, I didn't have chance to take pictures.
