The French celebrate Christmas in much the same way as other Western countries, but they have their own unique traditions and foods. On Christmas Eve, families gather for a special dinner called "Le Reveillon" or "The Reveillon," which is a festive feast featuring traditional French dishes such as roasted goose, foie gras, and brioche. Many families also enjoy traditional desserts like buche de Noel, or "yule log," which is a cake made to look like a log and decorated with icing.
