According to the Aix-en-Provence Office of Tourism, at Christmastime the decorated Cours Mirabeau has about 50 wooden Christmas booths selling traditional Christmas arts and crafts, and the town square is strung with lights. The tourist office building, open on both Christmas Eve and New Year”s Eve, has an annual cr”che display of santons de Provence, little wooden or clay sculptures (literally, little saints) that are part of Nativity scenes traditionally made in Provence. La Rosetta (Via della Rosetta 8-9; 39-06-68-61-002; www.larosetta.com ) may be the most famous notable seafood restaurant in the city, according to Mr. Bruni. It is “a little touristy,” he added, “but solid and classic” and only steps away from the Pantheon. I called the restaurant and they are open on Christmas Eve and are serving the seven-fish dinner. Through some online research and follow-up phone calls, I found three other restaurants also serving the traditional seven-fish dinner on Christmas Eve: L”Angoletto (Piazza Rondanini 51; 39-06-68-68-019) is also near the Pantheon; photos and hours are available at www.diningcity.com/rome/ristorantelangoletto21/index_en g.jsp . I”m searching for a restaurant in Rome, preferably serving traditional seven-fish Christmas Eve dinner.

Restaurant suggestions come from Florence Fabricant of The Times”s Dining section . She thought Chinatown might be fun to explore on Christmas Day, and recommended Joe”s Shanghai (9 Pell Street; 212-233-8888) or Peking Duck House (28 Mott Street; 212-227-1810), for example. Visitors in New York for the holidays tend to follow a well-worn path of Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, department store displays, skating in Central Park and perhaps seeing the Rockettes in the “Radio City Christmas Spectacular.” We are looking to go to Barcelona between Christmas and New Year”s (two parents, a 17-year-old and a 20-year-old).

Our family has decided to forgo the usual and head to Provence for the Christmas holidays. The Chinese are no Scrooges, embracing Christmas lights, decorations and even Santa. Bill and Priscilla Rope, my in-laws, were living in Shanghai ten years ago when they attended the first Christmas performance of Handel”s Messiah (in Chinese) since the Cultural Revolution at a church in the French Quarter.
