Where do you plan on spending Christmas this year? At home? Away from home? In Europe? Maybe in the deepest, darkest recesses of the Internet?

Below are a few pics that I took of a beautiful picturesque little town where I stayed about 2 weeks ago and plan to stay again on Christmas day. If you have some pics of where you'll be this Christmas why don't you share them with us so we can see where/what other Alizee fans are going to be up to at Christmas.

Wishing you and your family (and Lili, of course) the best Christmas ever...

(Below) A walk about town at 2:00am in the morning with my girlfriend. The whole town was lit just for us, or at least it seemed like it. Nice setting for a very romantic evening.

Close... Leavenworth

Ah, that was my second guess :rolleyes: . I've never been to Leavenworth personaly (although the Bavarian-style buildings hinted at it), but it still looked like Wenatchee which I've been through only once... in the summer.

For those who don't know, Leavenworth is a town in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state which maintains its Bavarian heritage, architecture, and shops to the benefit of local tourism.

To answer the question, I'll be spending Christmas in Buckley, WA... a tiny little "town" at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. No picture of Buckley will show anything interesting, but I might try to scrounge up a picture of the view of Mt. Rainier from Buckley... which is spectacular.

Yes, Leavenworth is very similar to the real Europe, where I traveled to in the Summer of 2005.

Yes, I'm familiar with Buckley. I have a friend named Laura who lives there.

Leavenworth is a pretty town, though it can be a bit wierd going in to a fast food place and having the signs all written in German :-P

I'll be spending my X-Mas working at glorious SeaTac airport.

The good news is, this is the view from my office:

The bad news is, I work nights, and won't be seeing that view.

/sigh

Sleeping through the day at home, probably having frozen pizza for dinner; the bachelor xmas.

I know a quaint little French restaurant in your area that has Alizee's picture on the wall; they even play her music, along with Jenifer's, Natasha's and others. A nice place to have a Christmas dinner. Send me a private message if you want to know where it is.
