Christmas is about garlands, trees, but also “rose water” series and TV movies.
For the occasion, we asked our readers to tell us about their love story, which would have nothing to envy them.
Bring out your best blankets and sweets, it's marshmallow time.
In the third and last episode of our “Christmas of Love” series, our reader Catherine tells us how he found a crush of youth.
For Christmas, we asked our readers about their best love stories. The testimony you are about to read is genuine.
It's Christmas and, here, we are not the
Grinch
type
to shy away from our pleasure.
No, when that time of year comes, we want all the decorum.
The garlands, the mulled wine, the chocolate, the tree, the whole thing.
And that even includes the somewhat old-fashioned and phone-in Christmas romantic comedies.
But this year we have a little
twist
.
No offense to
Love Actually
,
The Holiday
or
Christmas Flow
, this time the beautiful Christmas love story takes place in the real world.
Take out the plaids and hot chocolate, we'll tell you about Catherine's romance.
New Year's Eve of the "wave to the soul"
We get in the mood. Christmas 1979, we are in a coaching inn somewhere in the Alps. Catherine is a receptionist and, as a seasonal worker in her twenties, she is getting ready to work for New Years Eve. The place is warm, But the period "is very active", and barely arrived, the young woman "has little time to get started". As you can imagine, when you're a young adult and spend Christmas away from home, morale is more gray than red and green. To have a little human warmth, Catherine can only count on the phone. Unless…
Top hearts !
At midnight, once the service is over, Catherine goes with other seasonal workers to the village bar, under the snow.
On the spot, everyone makes against bad luck and, little by little, the discussions come to illuminate the grayness of the "vague to the soul", says our protagonist.
A little further in the room, two men are seated.
Among them, Michel.
As you can imagine, if the situation is, the meeting is far from trivial.
Breaking the ice under the snow
Not cold in the eyes, Catherine "invites them to join" them.
She remembers that the professional pastry chef "hesitated a little", but in the end he ended up sitting down with her.
As the snow continues to fall, our two lead actors break the ice.
They have things in common, they both have “already made seasons in Germany, on the Bavarian side.
"
The rest of the evening they will talk about their similarities.
It would seem that despite the cold outside, hearts have indeed warmed.
We would offer you a first kiss under the snow on Christmas Eve to complete the picture, but sometimes love takes (a little) its time.
It will happen a few days later for those who subsequently become "true Siamese"
Wandering love, which lasts
If the meeting is beautiful, the rest is even more so.
After this winter season, our two new lovebirds will move to Strasbourg together, directly.
Catherine and Michel have not let go since.
They will live in Paris, in Avignon, will open a restaurant in Geneva… A common life full of twists and turns for a couple, made up of “two strong personalities”, who “know what they want”.
Obviously, they decided to love each other, and they did.
