December in the Auvergne - trees taking over

On our walk to the crafts fair at Massillion International School on Saturday we passed by the fountain in Place Delille that usually looks like this:


It appears Place de Jaude isn't the only place the Christmas elves have been busy!


Svētvakara - Augusts Saulietis

... Un lēni durvis veras:
Tēvs zaļu eglīti nes,
Un zaros tai pārslas zaigo
Kā baltas zvaigznītes.

Un vienu svecīti spožu
Dedz māte un eglītē liek:
Cik gaiši un silti no viņas
Kā saulē visapkārt tiek!

"Pie Taviem šūpļiem stāvu" -
Tad tēvs un māte dzied,
Un lielas, zaļas zvaigznes
Aiz sniegainā loga zied.

    Oh, I need to get my tree! We're supposed to go to the mountains on Saturday and chop one down, which I've never done before. Don't worry, it's legal!
