Nearly every French home during Christmas displays a cr�che or, in English a nativity scene, which serves as a focus for the Christmas celebration. As early as the 17thcentury, the forerunners of the domestic cr�che began to appear in the form homemade decorated glass called grottoes or rockeries. These were mainly found in upper and middle classhomes. Neapolitan cr�ches enjoy great success in France.
Celebration
Unlike some countries gifts are given out on the 6th of December. That is called Saint Nicholas Day. Christmas has turned out to be one of the main religious festivals in France. The procession of the Christ child and the visit to the cr�che were essential elements of the traditions surrounding this great celebration. In France,although Easter remained the major religious festival, the festivities connected with Christmas grew, as the many carols and church or family creches demonstrate.
In the Middle Ages, French carols were dances accompanied by singing. Also the "carol" was a kind of round dance. In time the "carol" changed its meaning, referring to only to certain kinds of songs. A number of currently popularAmerican Christmas carols came directly from France.
Christmas is usually celebrated with all of the family coming together on Christmas Eve. Children in France put their sabots (shoes) in front of the fireplace where they hope Pere Noel, Father Christmas, will fill them with presents.
Pere Noels French partner is Pere Fouettard, father spanker, and he will "reward" bad children with a spanking.
FoodThe midnight service on Christmas Eve is traditionally followed by a meal called "Le Reveillion". Reveillion means to wake up or the first call of the day. Sidewalk cafes and restaurants are open all night serving "Le Reveillion". The meal can consist of oysters, sausages, wines, baked ham, roast fowl, salads, fruit and pasta.
Decoration
Throughout France, one of the ways of decorating a houseis by using many types of flowers. They put these flowers around the house in bunches or by themselves. One of the most common places for flowers is the table.
This is the way French people celebrate Christmas.
