what do france do for christmas

In France, Christmas is celebrated in much the same way as in other European countries. People typically gather with family and friends to exchange gifts and share a special meal. Christmas trees are decorated with lights, ornaments, and tinsel, and many people enjoy baking traditional French Christmas treats such as brioche or mince pies. On Christmas Eve, many families attend Midnight Mass or go to a local church for a special service. Children in France typically leave their shoes out for Pere Noel (the French version of Santa Claus) to fill with presents.
