A womans Christmas.


In the lobby of the supermarket a trestle table has been set out. On it a plastic bottle of supermarket brand Coke, an unopened carton of orange juice, a dozen slices of plain cake , a pile of paper napkins and a stack of plastic cups. A sign saying " Father Christmas offers you a taste . Help yourself ". There seem to be few takers.

 By the frozen chicken counter another table. This one has a sign saying  ' A womans Christmas '. Underneath it the must have item of 2012 ? A glass mosaic 'Elvis' mirror.  €19.90. Only goes to show. You can find all your shopping needs in a French supermarket if you look hard enough.

    I wonder how many people can say they found the perfect gift by the frozen chicken counter?

    Since I don't see anything that I like on the table for A Woman's Christmas, does this mean that I'm not a woman anymore?
    Maybe that set of new knives...then I won't need the knife sharpener anymore...smile.

    I don't think Father Christmas would care for "his" offerings.

    Love the guitar... Trying to learn as much as I can about older dogs... (your blog was ever so helpful) - taking on a new puppy has created some tension and jealosy - trying my best. Love your writings - maybe you present us more about the canine population of Southern France.

    If that display were here, I would guess that all items would have been replaced at least thrice, OJ, Cola and Cake and had there been coffee, it would have been gone even faster.

    Hee hee hee! Nothing says Merry Christmas like plain cake and supermarket soda!

    I'm sure those guitar mirrors are going to take France Profunde by storm! Every home will have one!

    I wouldn't be surprised if a certain colorful character finds a way to attach a sparkling guitar shaped jewel to her turban this festive season.
