Christmas on my street. The lights are up all over Paris. Most of the commercial streets participate in putting up decorative Christmas light banners.

Ha ha! One of my students shared this fortified wine with us on the last day of class. We had been reading an article that mentioned it and my student offered to bring some for us to taste. How cool is that! They are adult students by the way.

I laughed every time we saw reference to the wine because of the "Mac". I couldn't help thinking about it being a MacDonald's wine! It was quite a strong wine that would be typically used for the "apéro" apperitif.
