I will go celebrate Christmas at your house... 🎄
Laura Gonçalves, aka s Pinketcetera
Charlie Crane What does Christmas mean to you?
Laura: It's my favorite time of the year, a time to share with my loved ones. I am lucky to still have my grandmother. We will be 4 generations around the tree, it's great! My son Célestin is going to spend his first Christmas with his great-grandmother.
Charlie Crane Do you have any particular traditions?
Laura: We are part of the gift team on the morning of the 25th. When we were little, with my brother, on the evening of the 24th before going to bed, we put a clementine and a bowl of hot chocolate near the tree to give strength to Santa Claus. I remember so much arriving in the lounge in the early morning. The clementines were eaten and the bowl empty, and then the gifts under the tree... It was magical! I think I will continue this tradition with Célestin.
Charlie Crane What would be the best Christmas for you?
Laura: My Christmases at my grandparents' house were perfect, I am so happy to have these memories. Now being a mom, I can't wait to see Célestin's eyes shine with joy as I discover her gifts under the tree in turn!
Charlie Crane Do you have any gift ideas for Célestin?
Laura: Since he is still very small, 7 months is complicated. I'm looking for mobility games including the MILO playset and wooden toys for her age.
Charlie Crane What are your good Christmas memories?
Laura: Above all, I have memories of emotions, of the joy of being surrounded by my whole family, around a good meal, the decorated house. Last year, when I was pregnant with Célestin, my family offered me little touches for him and that made me realize that a year later, we will be celebrating with a little baby... that I will be a mom at Christmas and not a child anymore, even at the age of 36!

Charlie Crane Are you celebrating Christmas with your family?
Youngseon Minseon: Before getting married, we organized a simple family dinner. Now we are having a simple party at home with friends. It is an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of family! We don't have any particular tradition, except for a nice warm meal with friends!
Charlie Crane What would be the best Christmas for you?
Youngseon Minseon:
My wish for this period is rather to have a healthy family and to be able to reunite. Last year, we had friends over and watched a Christmas movie together, I have great memories of it!
Charlie Crane Do you have gift ideas for your baby?
Youngseon Minseon: I put up a Christmas tree for the first time for my baby! We didn't make gift lists because he's only 2 months old. In any case, I planned a photo shoot at the foot of the tree.
