Today was the annual Club anglais (English Club) Christmas lunch. A member lives up the street from me and he drove me along with two others to Marcillat-en-Combraille, which is where the lunch was being held.
Marcillat-en-Combraille is a small town, about thirty minutes south of Montluçon. Population approximately 900 inhabitants.

There was snow on the fields as we drove through the French countryside, which always has a particular charm about it, even though it is becoming familiar.

Like any proper French village, Marcillat-en-Combraille, the church is the center of town.

There were 32 people in attendance. We sat along two large table in the back room of this restaurant. The food was delicious; there were two main courses, a cheese dish, and dessert. One of the members from Christmas crackers from England_edited.JPG)
After the meal, everyone sang some Christmas carols, including "The Twelve Days of Christmas," which was a lot of fun. We were divided into groups and given a specific day out of the twelve to represent; you stand up and sing on your day, but then everyone stands up and sings "on the first of day of Chirstmas..."The whole event lasted nearly five hours.
