Felix Through the Looking Glass*.

On Wednesday afternoon Felix, Mummy and Daddy went to see the Xmas windows at Galleries Lafayette on the Grands Boulevards.


Needless to say we were not the only ones in Paris with the same idea.


Felix was not entirely sure what to expect when we told him we were seeing the windows...


But he certainly was not disappointed and was pretty quickly was into the whole experience, especially after seeing the doggie & bear windows.


Felix kept asking for 'More, More...' each time we left a window.


But eventually it was time to leave the window gazing crowds and join the shoppers inside ... even more manic.


I don't think we have ever seen so many people, have we Felix?


*With apologies to CS Lewis.

Merry Christmas!

For young Felix, Xmas Day started off cheerfully enough with some phone & skype calls with Australia, followed by discovering with Max what Santa had left under the Christmas tree.


The presents seemed to continue throughout the day which seemed to somewhat excite Felix - even when the presents weren't necessarily for him!


One of Felix's presents from Santa was a very special Lady Bug umbrella, perfect for those wet parisian days.


After a lovely seafood lunch it was time for a relaxing afternoon and a good jigsaw puzzle, luckily Felix had just received a new one for Xmas.


But before we knew it, it was time for Bon Papa to leave to have a good night sleep before he returned to Vence bright and sparkling Boxing Day morning.


Felix didn't look overly thrilled by Bon Papa's departure, poor little pet! Au revoir Bon Papa!

Xmas Eve.

The tradition in France is to celebrate Xmas on the 24th (rather than the 25th in Australia).


So on Christmas Eve, Felix, Mummy and Daddy had Xmas dinner and an exchange of presents with Bon Papa.


Felix was the Head Chef of Presents and gave them out accordingly.


There were presents for Mummy, Daddy and Bon Papa ...


And of course a HUGE pile of presents for Felix ...


... including a tambourine to Felix's delight.


And a very musical card from Bon Papa...


The pile of presents seemed neverending and Felix was very kind and helped everyone with the unwrapping.


And of course the night included lots of fun with young Max, the little treasure, who is staying with us for a few more days!


Merry Christmas everyone!

Joyeux Noël!

Well the Christmas festivities are well and truly underway 'chez nous' in Paris.


Felix has had great fun dressing up as Santa, playing with Max, and the fridge is stocked with lots of yummy things for the next few days.


The Magret de Canard, the Foie Gras and the Bûche de Noël is being collected by the boys whilst Mummy has a repose.


So all in all it is looking good - except has anyone seen Felix??


Joyeux Noël!
