How do French people celebrate Christmas?

Answer 1

Christmas in France is a holiday as in many western countries. Shopkeepers have their windows decorated and town councils decorate the streets, families set up their Christmas trees and Nativity scenes. Children write or draw their wish list of toys, and put their shoes next to the fireplace - or under the tree - on Christmas Eve. There is often a lavish family meal lasting into the night, called the "réveillon" (there is another one at New Year's eve, but the Xmas one is most often family-oriented).

Answer 2

Mostly, Christmas is a time devoted to family. It is very common to have a family gathering, with a very good meal late in the night (le réveillon), and to offer gifts and presents, at least toys to kids.

Answer 3

It is celebrated the same as in most christian countries, with good food, decorations and presents.

French children put their shoes in front of the fireplace on Christmas eve, so that Santa Claus (Père Noël) can fill them with gifts. Candy, fruit, nuts, and small toys are also hung on the tree overnight. French families have le Réveillon, which is a huge feast. In each region they eat different food such as turkey, capon, goose, chicken… As a dessert they eat the traditional buche de Noël which is a log shaped chocolate and chestnuts cake

Christmas is called "Noël" in France. Family members and friends meet each other on this day to have a festive meal. They serve a Christmas cake, also called "bûche de Noël," which looks like a yule log and Christmas tree is the central point of everyone's intentions. People decorate it with red ribbons and real white candles. Oysters and pâté de foie gras are served as a regional food in Paris. "Christ cakes" are also baked for this occasion.
