Editor’s Letter
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Our Sunday Guides, December issue is filled with merriment.
We love this time of year and creating a festive home with delicious food, a cozy fire, gingerbread spices filling the home, and, of course, our loved ones. In this issue, we have our Buche de Noël recipe linked. It can also make a fabulous centerpiece on your dessert table!
For those looking for a holiday getaway, please see our quick video on Old Montreal, Canada. Watch here: https://theparishouse.com/blog-1/sunday-guides-christmas.
This month's Sunday Guides is a more bespoke issue, yet filled with recipes, flowers, and things to do and see in NYC and Vermont. We also included a tutorial on making a holiday floral arrangement for your dining room table and a decorative floral holiday DIY ice bucket; both would make perfect hostess gifts!
Make our pepperoni pinwheels ahead and freeze them; they are delicious Christmas Eve hors d'oeuvres that look beautiful served on a pretty platter. Paris House magazine is only complete with fashion and beauty. We rounded up a few of our favorite holiday red lipsticks, outfits, and tablescape inspiration! We linked our boutique's most stylish outfits and more.
Our Resort Travel Issue is coming soon in 2025. We are collaborating with several hotels and a fashion shopping brand and can't wait to share all the details. You will want to read about our Paris, France itinerary, which will be available soon!
Wishing you the happiest of holidays

Crabmeat Macadamia Wontons
Delicious hors d’oeuvres
Perfect for holiday entertaining
Ingredients:
Wonton wrappers
16 ounces of cream cheese
1lb of excellent quality lump crabmeat
Two scallions finely chopped
½ cup of chopped macadamia nuts
1 teaspoon of sea salt or kosher salt
1 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Feel free to add a pinch of garlic or onion powder, too!
We do not use freshly minced ginger in this recipe as we feel it overpowers it. We have a fantastic scallop dumpling recipe we use and will share soon!
Canola or Vegetable oil for frying
We serve with both a side of plum sauce and Thai sweet chili sauce
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients above
Add a generous spoonful to the center of each wonton
Brush the edges of the wontons and fold each side up together like a purse. Pinch the top together and use fork tines to secure each wonton decoratively.
We use a large fry daddy, which we fill with oil to the line inside.
We fry only about five at a time until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and serve warm with the side sauces.
Use extreme caution when frying, and make sure no children are in reach of the fryer!
