Christmas in the Air

Truth be told, I didn't buy anything at the Christmas Market or in the shops that line the streets of Bordeaux. We enjoyed our day immensely though. Wait,  I did buy a delicious sausage in a pretzel (Christmas Markets are traditionally German, right?) and a cup of spiced wine. Perfectly Christmas.

The day began beautifully, though it rained on and off. We started in a huge outdoor antiques market which was complete with multiple stuffed foxes.

We found the loveliest little tea room that was decorated in British Victorian style. Too many tables and too many cakes were packed into the room, but it gave it a cozy feeling that was perfect given the rain outside. My outfit matched the decor and Charlie ate three slices of cake : ) She jokes that my lactose intolerance will make her fat. Never!
