Let me share a little glimpse into the story of my Nativity scene. I’m Caroline Lenoir, a French mother of 10, with memories of my happy childhood near Paris, at Chatou’s 5 avenue des 27 Martyrs in a charming Ā« old house that was covered with vine Ā» exactly like the one in the Madeline stories!

Among countless wonderful moments, none remain as vivid as those spent around our ProvenƧal Nativity scene. The scavenger hunt to gather sand, moss or twigs. The journey of building the backdrop together under my mother’s creative guidance. The arrival of Saint Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary because « there was no place for them at the innĀ Ā». And the Angel Ā«bearing tidings of great joy to all peopleĀ Ā». Baby Jesus placed with reverence between His Father and His Mother on our way back from church in the cold midnight hour. The colorful Wise Men among dozens of ProvenƧal villagers dressed in stunning 19th-century costumes.

Fast forward a good twenty years, and here I was, with my husband and first children, in the breathtaking San Francisco Bay Area. I found myself immersed in the dazzling displays of lights, towering Christmas trees, and my family’s beloved cinnamon apple cider. It was fabulous but I couldn’t help wondering where the essence of the real Christmas was. The reason for the season.

By that time, my childhood crĆØche had found a new home with my sister, leaving me longing to recreate that same dreamlike fervor for my own children. But not just out of nostalgia. As a mother, I knew the powerful role this tradition would play in shielding my children from the influences of our times particularly during their adolescence, when our faith and values would be put to the test. I firmly believed that effective teaching went beyond purely intellectual and even spiritual reasoning, and had to include the vital dimensions of emotions and hands-on experiences.

In Provence, the months of October and November are the winter transhumance season. Shepherds lead their flocks to the plain to spend the winter.

Thanksgiving…
One of the most important things my American friends have taught me is gratefulness.
I am grateful for Isabelle who does such beautiful designs for our brand. I am grateful for my Chinese friends especially Morny who work tirelessly for us and do such an impressive work.
I am grateful for the support of my husband, my children especially my dear daughter-in-law.

In Provence, it’s the time of year when the shepherds take their herds and go back to the plain to get warm for the winter.

In a few days, these bells will be ringing the first Sunday of Advent. In France, it marks the day when families go on a scavenger hunt to gather moss, bark, gravel, and sand and start creating their scenery. Finally, they unwrap their santons and begin to tell the story of Christmas...
