It’s known that French is the language of love….
and it seems to also be the language of Christmas….
We wait for Papa Noël 
Enjoy chocolat….
We stop at the boulangerie, charcutier and patisserie.
Don’t forget the Bûche de Noël 
Oh Là Là! You could win a trip to Paris! Bonne Chance! 
The fern leaf arrangement featured above is currently sold out but check out Exotica's website for other magical and slightly more pricey options. *Bright shining stars are available in some areas at no charge.
Just a reminder………. 
Your sushi tree ornaments can’t be stored for next year. 
“Sea”son’s Greetings
The wine glass may have evolved but after sufficient amounts of wine, it’s easy to watch the classy well-dressed man revert back to his former caveman self as indicated above.
As more people are becoming pet owners, it’s nice to know where you can take your pup. One place you can forget about taking your four-legged friend is to Sin El Fil Municipality Park and in case you forget, there’s a guy at the gate to remind you.
It all seemed too good to be true……
Could it be those promises of better internet were finally happening?
Yeah..exactly. Who are we kidding? Ontornet confirms the promises have fallen short. So it’s business as usual in Lebanon. Lousy internet, embarrassing electricity service, overpriced mobile phone rates, sketchy landline connections, mountains of water and yet not enough in the water tank, politicians making fools of themselves, unbearable traffic on poorly maintained roads and you still need to know somebody to get things done or at the very least you’ll need to “pay this guy”.
Beirut has been destroyed and rebuilt 7 times. Luckily the construction was done at a faster pace than ABC Debayeh. 
Most of our homes are without wallpaper but it’s the handprints of little ones that liven up many walls.
This goldfish will stay longer than the others and probably won’t get flushed down the toliet.
If your new eyebrow tattoo looks like this, don’t try to win the light fixture from Debbas. Just keep the lights down low for a while.
Congratulations to all participants in today’s Beirut Marathon. New Balance’s billboard says “Let’s Make Excellent Happen” and it was an excellent day!
Snickers had at least 2 supporters.
Commercial causes mixed with humanitarian causes.
There was a race for everyone. 42Km Wheelchair, 42Km, 5Km, 1Km Special, 1Km Moms, 10Km Wheelchair, 10Km and the human race.
It appears that this depressing and widely ignored ad campaign will continue to terrorize Beirut citizens into 2012 as this billboard building changes infrequently. Fellow blogger Rita posted this: My Misadventure At Aishti with her take on the campaign. The interesting part of this campaign is the enthusiasm the agency seems to have for it and the total lack of enthusiasm from Beirutis. It’s too boring to even generate the negative buzz the Lebanese Blogosphere is known for creating. We get that Aishti uses golden-yellow boxes and bags. Yawn…… 
The wind blows west…..suddenly without notice the winds blow east. 
This is Lebanon. Happy Independence Day!
Great chefs know the secret. Always use
