Christmas with Valenciennes
16h30, Saint Nicolas announces that the time assigned with decoration is past. We were content with the result. All the parts of decoration of our fir tree were carried out with wire of telephone (very flexible and resistant to the bad weather). The decorated fir trees will be established as of December 9 and until the beginning of January with the four corners of Valenciennes by the service of the parks of the town of Valenciennes. Each fir tree will be identified by a small panel pointing out the name of the team and association.
Only, this ball at the top of the fir tree, was surrounded by a lace of Valenciennes , carried out in gilded wire. It is on sale and the price will be also transferred with the Restaurants of the Heart. |
I thank all the lacemakers for Valenciennes and Sebourg to have answered very spontaneously my request, because believe me, to work of the telephone son is not easy thing for a lacemaker accustomed to very fine and meticulous work. Thank you also with my husband for the fabriquation of the spindles out of wooden.
Part of our team |
The team of France Telecom, which came to support us, beside their "mobile fir tree". |
Our neighbors post-office employees and their "fir tree factor". |
The hour of the verdict arrives finally, the furnished baskets were distributed to the three teams declared gaining. The choice was to be difficult, because among the quarantes teams present, there were really very pretty fir trees. Here criteria of the jury: originality, esthetics, recognition of the activity. The first price returns in "Athéna" (painting), the second with "the Blue Baby" (association of fight on the maltraitance of the children), the third with the association of the "Districts".
For a contest, it is necessary gaining, but at the time of this afternoon, nobody was losing: in spite of the cold, environment was cordial and causes was noble. The next year it will be still better with, wish it, a new record of participation.
