Today we made dog cookies for Christmas... cookies for the dog! It*s obvious he wont eat them, because they are not at all as tasteful as the Austrian vanillekipferl or a good yummy stollen, but at least we will have something to eat at breakfast for the next 2 weeks.
And now for some more preparations. Dad was wondering in which tradition the turkey should be done in. After considering German, French, American or English ways of preparation, we opt for the Luxembourgish way. Don*t ask me what that one is, because I don*t have a clue...
At least the champagne is ready
And I got new reading glasses, finally. My last pair dated back to the mid nineties and is falling apart, so now I look sharp and snazzy once again.
Shopping for that last minute ingredient with my mom. This tradition is always fun, since she herself wonders what the hell she is actually looking for.
Christmas decorations for the house is taken painstakingly serious in Luxembourg. Just look at this marvel! A cacophony in lights...
I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
places to go and weird stories to know about the city of lights... Improve your brain's useless knowledge parts, impress your neighbors, raise the roof, and anoy your friends with these funny facts and places
