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).
The French can choose from a variety of foods to eat for their Christmas dinner. An example of a typical French dinner for Christmas would be oysters, lobster, roast beef, green beans, a cheese tray, and a yule log.
