Hay. I am Sheril. I live in Georgia (USA) I have a 9 year old son who has been asked to do a project on France. His topic is Christmas traditions. He needs to know how Christmas is celebrated in France. We would love to have pictures and articles and magazine clippings on and about Christmas…and what ever else you can think of that would help my son. He is in the 3rd grade and is SOOOOO excited about this project. I thank you in advance for your help.
This project has to be turned in by December 16th.
We are looking as forward to what we will find out.
Thanks and God Bless you for all your efforts.

Hey, I’m Philippe in France.
In the southern France, most families build "une Crèche de noël" (a Christmas nativity scene)with little clay figurines called "santon" :

On Christmas eve we go to the local church to attend "la Messe de Minuit" (the midnight Mass, at 10pm)to celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus. There’s also a "creche" in every church

Then we have the "Réveillon" a "light" and cold meal, we eat oysters, foie gras.
