A Very Frenchy Christmas
Christmas Edition #2
A Frenchy Style Christmas
Well Friends, it's been 13 days since the last entry and unfortunately life happens.
I really wanted to continue the deep dive into the 12 twelve days of christmas and if there's any significance into the songs we sing at christmas time.
But it just seems like the world is full of "Uncle Scrooge's" and a bunch of "Grinches" that really like to suck the fun out of the holidays.
So I'm gonna keep it short and sweet today.
I would Love to get your feedback on the Blog so far, and I want to know what you all think of it. Is it Good, is it boring? What something you're interested in reading about?
Other then just reading about me rambling on about my opinions and whatever I'm feeling for that day.
However, for today I'm gonna give you my personal favorite top 10 lists of Christmas Movies to watch, Favorite Songs, and traditions I do with my family. So without further ado;
Please Enjoy this Christmas Season, Frenchy Style!

Christmas Watch List
These Movies are classics and super funny and warms my little Frenchy heart. Sit down with the kids, grab some homemade hot chocolate, a big bowl of popcorn, don't forget the marshmellows and the peppermint sticks. Now pile on the couch with your jamas on, and the cozy comfy blankets and prepare for a fun family night with the kids.
