    That was so fun thanks for taking us along with you and Scott. They had them in a lot of hard work filming and editing. It was a lot of fun. I want to say that you and Scott on the beach with the sun shining coming off on an angle was very beautiful. I’m into watercolors, I automatically thought of how beautiful that would be to paint that moment I am like you as well. If it’s too crowded, I can’t enjoy myself as much he did it excellent job even with all the crowds Scott you are a great team.🎄

    That was a Christmas treat - Cape May is on my list and at Christmas at night I think some of those quaint houses would look amazing. I enjoyed the house tour, the walk on the beach and the walk to your car to see the different houses. When you were in the outdoor market I could just imagine hearing the ocean, smelling the water and the pine decor at the same time. Thanks for the visual gift!

    I love the tour I love the town and the house she saw it was very enjoyable for me sitting here in Palm Coast, Florida alone. My husband passed away two years ago. We went to Cape May many years ago when we lived in northern New Jersey and stayed overnight in one of the bed-and-breakfast, so it brings back happy memories. Thank you so much merry Christmas and happy new year from Jeannie.

    Cromwell became Lord Protector December 1653 for about 5 years, Queen Victoria married Prince Albert August 1819, a few Christmases in between! But Christmas as we know it was certainly established by Prince Albert, especially the Christmas tree.

    Thank you for posting your vlog, Sophia. I really enjoyed seeing the Physick house. I liked the wallpaper and the simple way they presented the dining table with the ribbon and seeing the kitchen and crockery storage was interesting too. Cape May looks a very nice town. I particularly liked the look of all the houses. Btw I think it was a megatooth sharks tooth.

    • @mygreatchallenge
      @mygreatchallenge  Před 7 měsíci +5

      Christmas Eve is the biggest festivity in France. That is when the family gathers. It allows for folks to go back home and have Christmas day with their kids in their own home (if you live nearby). Most families host though and the cousins would stay at one house throughout (fun memories). But other than that, same, different movies, different songs. Traditionally we serve a turkey with Chestnut stuffing on Christmas eve. Always oysters, foie Gras and smoked salmon. The Buche (log) cake. We don't have carolers, that is strictly British. Midnight mass ends shortly after midnight with the birth of our savior at exactly 12. We have the nativity scene, that's been going on for over 800 years now.

      @richardwilson1 Looking at the most recent crime report, the crime rate in Cape May is 72.4% higher than the national average. These crimes fall into two primary categories: violent and property. Violent crimes encompass murder, rape, robbery and assault, while property crimes involve theft, vehicle theft and burglary. In Cape May, there were 6 reported violent crimes, equivalent to 211 per 100,000 individuals, 43% lower than the national average. Additionally, there were 108 property crimes, amounting to 3796 per 100,000 residents, 94.2% higher than the U.S. average

    • @richardwilson1
      @richardwilson1 Před 7 měsíci

      That is a very misleading number. Cape May is a tourist town . We have a residential population of less than 3000 people ( that is the number they use when showing those statistics ) In the summer we have over 50,000 people a day in Cape May and because they are not residents that number is not used in figuring the statistics. If the actual number of people in the town was used we’d have one of the lowest crime rates
