this slightly hybrid christmas wreath–grapes and grape leaves, imitating holly and spruce–is an apt symbol of the christmas celebration we will have today in autignac france. some french leg of lamb, and some minnesota wild rice hotdish. some mediterranean oysters and some lapadat family apple delight. happy holidays to all of you in all traditions wherever you come from and wherever you have landed.
