Some French traditions at Christmas:

bring in and decorate a Christmas tree (likely to be a fir tree);

have the children prepare their letter to "le Père Noël" (Father Christmas / Santa Claus) and put their shoes underneath the tree;

have a family gathering with a nice evening meal;

for observant Christians, go to church to attend the midnight Christmas mas;

on the day after, get up in time to watch the children find their Chirstmas presents under the tree and unwrap them with excitement.

Enjoy the holiday for the week.
