by Chloe, age 9 from Nice, France, asks Santa about festive handbags, the French Riviera, and the city’s historic flower market.
Dear Santa, my name is Chloe, and I am nine years old. I live in Nice, France, where my maman says our flower market fills the whole street with color every single morning.
Dear Chloe, a street bursting with fresh flowers every morning sounds like one of the loveliest stops on my entire route, your maman picked a truly colorful hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Is there a Santa handbag? My tante wants a fun festive one for the holidays this year.
There certainly are Santa themed bags and accessories out there, Chloe, festive designs perfect for holiday shopping trips. Your tante sounds like she has a wonderfully stylish sense of Christmas spirit.
My maman says Nice sits right along the Mediterranean Sea, on something called the French Riviera. Is that true?
It is true, Chloe, Nice stretches along the sparkling Mediterranean coast, part of the famous French Riviera. I always enjoy that sunny, blue coastline on my way to your rooftop.
My maman says our flower market has been running in the same spot for a really long time. Is that true?
It is true, Chloe, the flower market has filled that same street with color and fragrance for well over a century. That kind of long-lasting tradition, generation after generation gathering in the same beloved spot, is really something worth celebrating.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Chloe Marchand
Nice, France
P.S. Will you bring my tante a bag with a little flower on it too?
Already on the list, Chloe, a touch of color never hurts.
