I’m writing this from a café but can hardly wait to get home because my Christmas tree arrived this morning. The rest of my weekend will be dedicated to lighting and decorating the tree. I ordered the tree from my favorite florist so I haven’t seen it yet, but Romain says it’s the biggest yet – a good thing because my ornament collection keeps growing! Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 47 include several lists of Paris hotspots, a piece about Americans in Paris with a cycling twist, and a tour of John Galliano’s Normandy home. Enjoy!
