Bonjour Tara.
How can you be in all those places at once? Parisian Christmas displays are luscious (I live here too). I've noticed they're considerably more artsy than most American displays! Though I'm sure those in NY and Philly are pretty sophisticated. I'm from San Diego so I grew up with Santa Claus in Hawaiian shirts and Christmas lights on palm trees. Not quite the same... ;-)
I actually stopped by because I thought you might like to know about www.francophilia.com, the only social network for francophiles.
We launched a year ago, and in 2009 we're going to add a marketplace where you can get your fill of French stuff. We're a tiny startup operating on a shoestring budget, and depending on francophile bloggers like you to help get the word out.
Hope you and your readers will stop by and join us! And please help spread the word!
Merci et à bientôt.

Oh - What JOY!!
Only Tara could take me out of a dreary day of rain and mud to the delights of Albino Peacocks with Shimmering Silver + Anthropologies' Ripped Golden Tapestries
and one of my favorite little pocket parks near MOMA. Great Gobs of Gratitude, Madame!

Man, oh man. This image is going to float with me as I drift off to sleep tonight. I'm sure I'll have delightful flying dreams.
