For me Christmas day should be shortly, in my family this day we pass all time eating, and because of that, I wasn’t played with my guinea pig. That’s why for me, the perfect Christmas day  is a good food (only one !) of 3 hours maximum, I am agree for a Christmas tree, be with my family and all thinks but I don’t like to pass my day eating.
This year I want a computer so please give the message to my parents…. Thank you in advance.

OOOOhh Manon you have a guinea pig ??? Me too but everyone make fun of me when I'm talking about him... (ok this post is useless I was just so happy to not be the only one with a guinea pig )

For me christmas is : family, lights and champagne. If I have those three things (which go along with music and goo mood OF COURSE) it's enough !
About gift i would like to answer to Salomé : when I was a kid I wanted toys and fancy stuff now I want food, money or useful things... Being a student sucks...
About the song you know I love it but please :

Wow, well ideal Christmas depends on the perspective I think. I love Christmas when it is really cold and when it's snowing. So I agree with Gaelle and the others in that point. That reminds me of Canada when we went outside with bunch of buddies to make a snowman, that was really fun. This makes me think that time passes so fast...

But there's the Christmas in Madagascar where the weather is really really hot and it is raining all the time, i like that type of Christmas too But the perfect Christmas is when you spend it with the people you love and you wanted to spend it with It doesn't matter if you don't receive any gifts as long as you are with the ones you love right ? Don't you guys agree ??

Ahah thanks Salomé, I prefer couscous than fruit but maybe your family and mine will eat together couscous no ??

Yes Lorry...spend time with people you love is the better gift you can get. The more important is to be together and the material gifts aren't vital to live a beautiful evening

I agree with you girls but not for Santa, I don't like strangers in my house especially on holidays ;-)

I ate paté yesterday, not sure if it was guinea pig though.

World peace, happiness for the people (and animals) that I love and future success for my students.

I'm a little bit older than you lot and I have most of the products that I want or I can afford to buy them when I need them so I get very few présents now. Chocolates - sure, clothes if I need them (you probably noticed I'm not a high fashion model), my youngest son may send me a retro computer game through steam and my daughter will probably send me something with a picture of her daughter on it

I've recently moved into the third stage of Christmas and it's a bit difficult after the first two: The first as a child everything is magical and exciting, présents are under the tree or next to the bed. The weather is snowing, Christmas trees, lights, snowmen and snowball fights are everywhere, people are happy and sharing. The second as a father is even better it's all about the kids (and your wife) making the time special for them, getting them what they want, playing to the mystical and magical idea of Christmas. Special family time, traditional food, visits to Santa ... Then your youngest child leaves home and all the family are away for Christmas, working in cities far away. The house is quiet, the mood is different and the happiness isn't the same. This is the stage that I'm at so this year my wife and I will go away for a couple of days at Christmas and begin a new "Christmas story".

As for my favourite present from the past that has to be the year that my wife and I took our children to Lapland just before Christmas, we rode on reindeer and husky sleds, we built snowmen, cut down our own Christmas tree and took the children to meet Father Christmas inside the arctic circle. the wonder on the faces of all our children especially the youngest is never to be forgotten.

Still I've written too long now, got to get ready for your présentations.

For me the perfect Christmas is a Christmas with snow, a big Christmas tree, a lot of gifts (all for me) and all my family around a Christmas meal !
Also, Christmas period is the better for me ! It's holidays, all people are good, everyone want a perfect world (you can't see that in other periods of the year !!!).
After that, there is some videoclips with sexy "mother" christmas. Maybe we can have a mother christmas election for the last class ! It will be a funny game !

Ok Salomé, you would like offer an orange to me ? I well behaved with you, I support you every week, and my gift could be an orange ? Stolen (of course).
I hate you !

For me a perfect Christmas:  Drinking champagne, Eating foie gras, seafood and a large turkey!!!

I love Christmas because it's thanks to this party that I see all my family.

I have a present for Jordan who need love ==>[img][/img]

Florain wouldn't know what to do with that present. Give him a cat.

I will not break the Christmas hopes of everyone, but there is always snow at Christmas at my home. For me the idea of a perfect Christmas is a day of family skiing which ends around a hot chocolate at grandmother's house. After that, everyone is involved in making decorating and make diner, It's a real time to see all together and share good times.[img][/img]
Welcome to my home

That's beautiful.

AHAHAH love your video Gaëlle!!

Good Idea Marjo! that's a good invention.

"I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
make my wish come true
all I want for christmas is you, youuuuuuuu" thanks Salomé for the song, I can't thinking of anything else.

AAAAAAh Marine I'm so jealous of you!!

I want to go skying to! but there's no snow in Angoulême or in Brittany..
Can I come visite you?

Can I have this for Christmas?

What a lovely Christmas! That was an awesome idea! My parents went to Lapland when I was young but they didn't bring me or my sisters unfortunately... ^^

I triied to put some picture about girl mixed with cat but my forum abilities were not good enough. I also find A LOT of photos of cats with Santa's Hat. And maybe a cat can give much more love than a stupid model... (yeah I'm jealous)

I'm agree with you. True moments passed with people we love always replace the material aspect.
