Christmas in Paris

Paris Christmas 05
Originally uploaded by SaurabhA.

This actually wasn't our first Christmas in Paris (we were here for Christmas 2003, and in Barcelona for 2004), but it was the first Christmas where we considered Paris to be home.

We had a great time this year, my Dad and Nadya's cousins all came to visit during December and we had some great dinners with Rob, Julie, Tom and Karen.

For Christmas Eve, Nadya made a wonderful salmon pie and I shucked oysters for the first time. Accompanied by a great bottle of Champagne, our first Christmas Eve dinner alone and at home was a success.

For Christmas Day, we went to Rob and Julie's place for a fantastic turkey dinner. Tom and Karen were there too, and the six of us had a great time. The food, the wine and the company were perfect.
