My grandmother has always loved Christmas and decorating for it and it is something she passed on to me. This year I was excited to finally get my own decorations out of storage, it was like visiting old friends as I unwrapped each one. Years ago anytime my grandmother picked up a French theme ornament she also grabbed one for me. Sadly, she no longer decorates but I have taken on the task especially this year to recreate those magical moments. As I put up the tree I call her and ask her about many of the ornaments and their stories. Even at 98 years old on this very day, she remembers every single story.
Now as I unpack my own ornaments I have double of many and enough Eiffel Towers to cover the real one, but I adore each and every one of them.
Luckily for all of us in the age of the internet we don’t have to wait until we return to Paris to add some beauties to your tree that remind you of walking down those cobbled streets. I have found a few for al the Paris lovers out there that you can add to your own tree and give you a special little reminder of a perfect day you spent in Paris.
