Merry Christmas And Happy New Year in France.

Christmas Tradition

For children we have the Advent Calendar so that it's easier to wait for Christmas. Sometimes you have chocolates or little presents inside.

It's normal to put the crib near the Christmas tree. In certain families people create all things of the crib, all characters and the setting. It's there all the time during Christmas and after Christmas for the Epiphanie in 6th January, we celebrate the welcoming of the 3 Magicial Kings.
