Christmas is just a couple of days away and I wanted to send some pictures of the village and all its lovely decor before the sleet, rain slush that is predicted to fall from the sky ruins the beautiful snow.

I have included some of the usual landmarks-  the small chapel that we all have taken photos of a million times, the marina, the boardwalk, the entry where the mariner statue stands in summer and also some of the beautiful decorations on the houses.

Wherever you are I hope your prep for Christmas is not too frantic and that you have time to enjoy the moment!

Also just to let you know. Those of you who would be interested André Tremblay who owns and operates the L”Eauberge de Jeunesse writes a monthly newsletter called Le Reflet. It is a very interesting read – sometimes light and funny, sometimes scathing in criticism of topics of the day, always political. We have had several occasions to meet him over the last month and it has been very interesting indeed. A lot of thought and work goes into the publication. We have not yet been able to gauge how it is received by the citizens.  If you are on Facebook you can “friend” request L’Eauberge de Jeunesse de Tadoussac and you will find the Reflet there as well and other news about what is going on.

We are slowly getting involved in some things here most particularly the marina and the Ferme Hovington project. I will send out a summary probably after Christmas (the last Reflet of Dec 14 has a summary) as there may be others who might be interested in being involved.

Our love to all of you at this blessed time.
