Brianna is learning some basic French in school this week. So, I thought I would look up some French Christmas traditions. She was excited to read this and ready to share with her class. I found this at santas.net:
"The Christmas tree has never been particularly popular in France, and though the use of the Yule log has faded, the French make a traditional Yule log-shaped cake called the buche de Nol, which means "Christmas Log." The cake, among other food in great abundance is served at the grand feast of the season, which is called le reveillon. Le reveillon is a very late supper held after midnight mass on Christmas Eve. The menu for the meal varies according to regional culinary tradition. In Alsace, goose is the main course, in Burgundy it is turkey with chestnuts, and the Parisians feast upon oysters and pat de foie gras. Le Revellion may consist of poultry, ham, salads, cake, fruit and wine."
We have Rock Group tonight and I am very excited about getting together with them. I am trying a new recipe out on them and can't wait, it's from one of the new magazines I picked up Saturday.
The Littles have a cold and have been fighting all week. I know they don't feel good, but man all this whining and arguing is about to get to me.
