Hi everyone!   I’m taking a break from blogging during the holidays. We’re leaving for The Big Apple tomorrow morning and we’ll come back on the 30th. We were hoping for some nicer weather than here in Montreal, but it seems that it’s going to be cold and rainy in NY too… At least there [...]

Why do the Americans say “Merry Christmas” and the British “Happy Christmas”?
