This sounds very festive! Our village doesn’t do anything for the holiday season.
Do you have a daughter who lives in New York? Because so do I…

Last year, there was a Christmas dinner as well but no one seems to have organised it this year! The “baker” in particular seems very active. I forgot to mention that his family used to rent part of our house many long years ago. The lady whom we met previously was there as well http://www.aussieinfrance.com/2014/04/the-house-of-happiness/.
I’m looking forward to organising a street party for neighbours’ day!
Your Christmas cake is begging someone to dip their finger in for a taste test before cooking. If only I were closer!!!
I was in Brisbane’s King George Square last night for the Christmas parade and light show projected on City Hall. Thankfully the weather is a little cooler at present so a most enjoyable evening with friends but your wintry events seem so much more so.
It looks like you have such a nice community – what a lovely event! And your Christmas cake looks wonderful 🙂

Yes, we feel very lucky, particularly as we’ve only been here permanently since the end of October.
My Christmas recipe was handed down by my grandmother (whom I never knew).
What a lovely festive post, I wonder if you’ll go again this year? I think you’re very brave making your own foie gras, I love it, but prefer someone else to deal with it! Thanks for linking up with #AllAboutFrance

Those people in the last photo look like they are having a good time 🙂
The ones in the middle in particular!

And I would so love to be having a little heat!
It looks like a lot of fun!
It certainly was!

What a great community with a lot of fun. By the way, I never saw Christmas cake like that before, looks tasty!
