The spirit of Christmas preserved at Kad Merad
But this year, it is with family that the end-of-year celebrations will take place, although they have not. “But when I was a young dad, I loved celebrating it. It happened to me very often to dress up as Santa Claus! I still continue to decorate the house to preserve the Christmas spirit“, he clarified. And added that he always enjoys giving gifts to his family: “I’m more the one who will try to target the good stuff. It’s difficult to give THE right gift to an adult. I am often offered bottles of wine. It must be my good-natured side!“
