Bonne Année! Meilleures Voeux!
Happy New Year and Best Wishes! That's what it translates to. In France people send New Years cards, not Christmas cards, they also pick up the telephone and call their long lost friends to wish them a Happy and Prosperous New Year. I truly think some people sit down with their address books and go down the list leaving messages of good cheer for their friends and family. Isn't that a wonderful tradition? Yesterday we had lunch over at our friend Christiane's and the phone didn't stop ringing. We've gotten several emails and phone calls from friends over the last few days. Today we got a call from my friend Franck's parents. When I was 17 years old I came to France on a one-month exchange program and stayed with Franck and his family in Pontarlier which is in north-eastern France not far from Switzerland. Franck's dad Serge just called to say hello and wish us the best for the new year, we only chatted about 5 minutes, but that's all it takes. What a wonderful way to start out the new year! Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year and a great vintage '07!
