First, I just want to say that I'm not one of those people who correct others...I hate that, but, I thought you might want to know, for future reference, that the words are;
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favourite things.

All of the above. I particularly like everything when you take the pictures and it's all your point of view. It changes everything, even the things I know so well.
I agree with your list too. Just being reminded of Paris is one of my favorite things, and coming here gives that to me :)
I love that movie and that song!
I love all of your favorite things too!
I would add the smell of rain, children with their shoes on the wrong feet, good a cappella singing with 4 part harmony. I could keep going but I will soon have a post in this little comment box!
Rhonda

Oh how lovely. I adore each of your favorite items you listed. That courtyard is so beautiful.

All of those images are so gorgeous but I think my favorite is of Notre Dame cathedral -it's not often you see religious decorations in France so to see a Christmas tree in a public area is just beautiful!
Those roses are divine too....and so is the chocolate....and so are the macarons...I need to get on a plane to Paris!!!!
Lovely post.
Best Christmas wishes, Natasha.
Thank you for your sweet comment ... your favourite things are just beautiful.
Happy holidays!
Oh .... I'm your 100th follower ... congratulations!

So nice to 'met' you! Paris is one of my favourite cities and we go there by local train whenever possible.
Another of so may beautiful lyrics, "Mary, Have you heard". I love macaroons
Hey Sweetie! I am actually done shopping...yay! Just wrapping now. Thanks for visiting today and your sweet comments on my Marilyn post. She was such a mess, poor thing. You have to check back though and enter the fabulous giveaway my friend Karyn at French Charming is hosting! Hope you are having a great week! Kori xoxo
I love that song!! I love the cookies, the chocolate, the decorations, the lights but mostly how happy everyone seems this time of year!
I spent the best year of my life in France, but never got to see Paris for the holidays. I do remember celebrating Bastille day on the lawn of the Trocadero (is that the right place?) watching the fireworks behind the tour eiffel.
Can i pretend I'm there?
Thank you for the sweet comment! Sadly, I have never seen The Sound of Music and I really think I am missing out on a classic! I might have to fit it into my holiday plans. Oh yeah, and I want about 2 dozen of those pretty macaroons!!
Hi Mimi Bleu! What a beautiful list of your favorite things! We share the same taste on all! Your pictures are so pretty! Thank you for your sweet get well message... I am trying to stay as healthy as can be!
ps. Jacqueline ... we don't think anything bad 'bout you!!! I always like it when somebody notices the details and is helpful...
Your list is hard to top, because those are all my favorite things too. Here's another silly one to add. Accordion music on the metro. My trips there are never complete till I hear an accordion player. I told you it was silly!
I also love your Joyeux Noel clip art.
Meilleurs Voeux,
Debi
