I wish you the best journey ever, I am sure you will enjoy it immensely

Thanks! Does your village in England have a Christmas market? In America, we don't really have good ones. It's a pity because I love them!

[notabler]

I think they have, I am not into shopping too much, so I don't bother to go, particularly because I need to travel quite far for that. I am fully satisfied with supermarket sales. If you have no children around, Christmas is losing 99% of it's excitement. Just pure boredom with extra chores for me.

I agree, children definitely make the holiday more exciting and fun. I have my 7 year old nephew, and he still believes in Santa Claus. :)

Enjoy tour trip my dear Shannon!

Thanks, Olga! Any local holiday markets in California? We have one in DC, but it's very lame. :(

Hello, Shannon! Nice to read you again. I'd like to ask you about american Thanksgiving. Is it celebrated only around a family? Is it a quiet holiday?

[peacetraveler22]

Hi! Every family celebrates differently. Some have small, formal gatherings. But my family is huge, and we have an informal celebration. Sort of "pot-luck" style, where everyone brings a dish to the feast. I wrote about it last year. See this post http://peacetraveler22.livejournal.com/59811.html. :)) I'll probably take photos and write about it again this year.

I think it's delighted to have a big family. Best wishes you in France!

[peacetraveler22]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the trip! I have a great family. It's big and we actually like each other. :) So, holiday celebrations are always fun.

With the upcoming holiday, Shannon!))
Will be beautiful!

I'd like to make the people of the US and Russia did not fight, and friends
I'm working on it))))

[peacetraveler22]

The people of Russia and the USA don't fight, only our politicians do. :) Holiday time is beautiful for me! So fun, however I always feel sad for people who are lonely and have no family during this time. :( Do you stay in Russia for the New Year's celebration?

[a_nimaida]

yes you are right ....
In December I am flying to Delhi
New Year's like being at home .. so calm

[peacetraveler22]

I've never been to India, but it's on my list to visit. Enjoy!

France is a great! Paris is my favorite city!

[peacetraveler22]

I've been to Paris three times! It's a magical place, but I'm curious to see more rural parts of France. So, on this trip I'll finally get to view a different area.

Montréal can be a more rural Paris...

It's so expensive to fly anywhere from the U.S.! This ticket cost $1300 USD. :(( Unfortunately, I don't have free flight benefits anymore, so I travel much less.
