If you're a fan of rock and roll and slow dances, Nicolas Ullmann's new Rock'N'Slow soirées are for you.]]>Christmas in Parishttp://www.secretsofparis.com/heathers-secret-blog/christmas-in-paris.htmlHeather2009-12-23T15:56:53Z2009-12-23T15:56:53Z This was my last view of Paris before boarding the airport shuttle for my flight to the States. I've heard the snow is long gone, but that doesn't mean the Christmas spirit is missing from Paris. Here are just a few ideas of what to do and see over the holidays]]>Heather's Christmas Story: Santa was a Piratehttp://www.secretsofparis.com/heathers-secret-blog/heathers-christmas-story-santa-was-a-pirate.htmlHeather2009-12-12T20:39:39Z2009-12-12T20:39:39ZAuthor's Note: I wrote this story in 48 hours for the Abbey Bookshop Holiday Party (December 11, 2009). They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In this case it was just easier to start with a pre-existing best-seller and a well-loved Christmas poem that to write something from scratch. And it also makes it easier to pretend the huge plot holes, geographical absurdities, warped sequencing and downright bad writing were intentional. Enjoy! ;)]]>
