Christmas and Ata go together

Some things go together.

There are mystic combinations. These might include snow and skiing, movies and popcorn, summer and the beach, peanut butter and jelly.

Then there are loving combinations. Among these you might find mama and papa, pencil and paper, Dave and the chipmunks.

You also have your sensible combinations like silence and cinema, shoes and socks, Sancerre white and crottin de Chavignol.

Finally there are perfect combinations, and among these its hard to think of a better one than Ata and Christmas. This year that combination produced tostones, walks in the woods, buche de Noël, a third Christmas tree, confiture de lait, and lots of love. Yeap, a magic combination.
