Welcome to the Christmas blog
Our blog has just been born…
We are a team of three editors to feed
Aim:
– Share the magic of the party
– To educate us and you about the history and traditions surrounding the festival
– Coming up with gift ideas is always a headache when December approaches.
– Share the most beautiful images and the most interesting videos
– Create a portal that allows discussion on the theme of this celebration (your comments are welcome)
– Mettre un peu de bonne humeur dans un monde morose (contrer le climat de dépression…)
- etc.

Her passion for sweets doesn't stop there, however. She's also constantly creating new recipes for cakes and chocolates. She's now internationally renowned after the successful publication of books such as 'My Jams' and 'My Sweet and Savory Tarts'.
