WEDNESDAY'S WORD OF THE WEEK: JOYEUX NOËL!


JOYEUX NOËL

joyeux noël [French zhwah-yuh noh-ehl]
                                              
                                                noun [French zhwah-yuh noh-ehl] Happy Christmas.

Origin:
 < French: nael ≪ Latin nātālis; literally, joyous nativity

This week's phrase isn't going to help you identify a piece of furniture, but it may help you spot Père Noël! We had a surprise visit from him during Christmas dinner with family and friends. For some reason, nobody could get a clear picture. This IS the most wonderful time of the year!

Père Noël (Santa Claus)

"He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow."

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

À Bientôt!
&
Joyeux Noël!
