A good question, of course lights are used. One odd thing about French Christmas Customs is the following: Based on aarticle in the Hudson Dispatch in the sixties it is interesitng to note that Bells and Wreaths are NOT used,especially on Christmas Cards(they are used for New Year"s usually two bells clanging away) the reason is, somewhat oddly, that bells and wreaths are considere symbols of mourning and are thus inappropriate (they are used on Sympathy cards and prayer cards associated with Funeral homes-the name of the deceased in French Gothic lettering on a Bell with the life dates, if requested) The cars themselves were traditionally light blue and went throgh the pneumaticv post system(now Obsolete) getting off track I can imagine cards of this type made out for such celebreties as Edith Piaf or Sara Bernhardt would have a colector value. There are obviously diffrent types of funeral and/or sympathy cards as in the US. it is unusual the French consider Bells and wreaths, inthe abstracxt, morbiod, I could see flowers perhaps in this context.
