La lettre is two months old: exactly 9 weeks. We can talk about her like a baby, because she is still a baby. For three weeks, she suffered from infantile sicknesses. She refused to speak French, confused the days of the week, and pretended she couldn’t remember what she had done the day before. She still has baby tantrums. She observes Shabbat and Holy Sunday religiously every week. She refuses to learn the weekend agenda, a magnificent gift we concocted just for her. She doesn’t even seem to care. She’s happy to have tens of thousands of visitors every day. Happy that all of these international photography figures continue to write her daily story. Happy for her parents, Sophie, Elizabeth, Ericka, Magnus, Alex, José, Xavier, Gilles and Michel who watch over her 16 hours out of a 24 hour day. La lettre is 9 weeks old and today is Christmas. Her parents are going on vacation, leaving her with Santa Claus who, as early as Monday, will give her a daily portfolio of joy, happiness and simplicity. Thank you all for watching her grow and sending us your feedback. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
