53 - A Cosy Week of French Christmas Preparations

Bonjour and welcome back! This week, I’m sharing a gentle rhythm of Christmas preparations here in the French countryside — from a small winter refresh in the kitchen, to wrapping presents, infusing a festive drink, and creating a wreath from our foraged foliage. I added a brass rail above the stove, a simple change that already brings warmth and character to the room. As December unfolds, I enjoy letting small traditions blossom: preparing a spiced drink to gift, wrapping presents with collected papers and little handmade adornments, and gathering greenery for a wreath on our front door. Wherever you are and however you spend this season, I hope these quiet moments bring you comfort and inspiration. Thank you for being here.
