Christmas Traditions
Around the World
France
In France, Christmas
is always called 'Noël. Everyone has a Christmas tree, sometimes
decorated in the old way with red ribbons and real white wax
candles.
Fir trees in the garden are often decorated too, with lights
on all night.
Father Christmas is called Père Noël. The Christmas meal is
an important family gathering with good meat and the best wine.
Not everyone sends Christmas cards.
