Thanks very much, Monika--and Meryl,
Deux Amis has great chicken and mashed potatoes!
Chrissie, the little tree (on the corner where I live) looks like Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree, after decoration!
Interestingly, this little tree is the successor to a monstrous (and monstrously beautiful) fir tree that had to be taken down because it was attempting to destroy the foundations of the house. The owner, a very fit elderly gentleman who takes lovely care of his property, must have been very sad to remove the bigger tree; this new one is given much love and attention, I think!
I love the phrase 'Little Christmas;' my family often said it rather than saying the Sixth of January, or even during the whole of the period between Christmas and the Epiphany. Look here:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAnyway, I was sad that some people take down the lights and decorations quickly after the First, and I thought one needed to keep a little bit of light going this week (hence this thread)--
--and 'Supper' Restaurant (see below) certainly knows how to 'Keep the Home Fires Burning!" It is open seven days a week (other than Christmas Day) and there are no reservations, except on Thanksgiving Day and New Year's Eve. That's why I go early (before 6:00pm) or late (after 10:00pm).
(For the record, I had: white beans in oil and red pepper; a fish risotto--mussels and calamari--that takes 30 minutes to prepare; green beans with garlic; an amazing chocolate sherbet that tasted like a rich, creamy gelato; latte. With needed pauses between courses--good thing I wanted to take my photos!
