However, Boxing Day on the 26th is not a holiday, because it’s an English, not French, tradition. So everyone goes to work the day after Christmas Day!\nChristmas Holiday\nIt was Saint Nicholas who was the original Father Christmas, or 'Père Noël' as he is known in France.\nTraditionally, it was St Nicholas who brought the presents to children.\nSaint Nicolas\n- In France, one of the most important decorations at Christmas time is the Sapin de Noël (Christmas tree). It is used in homes, streets, shops, offices, and factories. The trees in the streets are real, not plastic.\n- The idea of the Christmas tree came from a French region called Alsace in the 14th century.\nDecorations\nA Christmas wreath is hung on the door of French homes to say \"soyez la bienvenue chez nous\" (Welcome to our house). Originally, this was an Anglo-Saxon tradition which was later adopted by the French. The wreath is round shaped, to represent the sun hanging at the door.\nBienvenue chez nous!\nIn the past, the Christmas wreath had four candles which represented the four weeks before Christmas, called Advent. Each Sunday, one of the candles was lit as a count down to the special day.\nThe crown is often decorated with holly (le houx), the spiky leaves representing the Passion of Christ, and the red berries the blood of Christ.\nHistory\nof the Christmas Wreath\nHistory\nof the Mistletoe\nThis plant has a long history. For the ancient Celtic Druids, it was considered sacred because of its miraculous properties - in healing, protection against all sorts of evils, and witchcraft.\nMain Point\nAt Christmas, and more especially on New Year's Eve, mistletoe is hung - either from the ceiling, a rafter or in a doorway. It's a tradition to kiss under the mistletoe, a symbol of prosperity and a long life.\nMain Point\nOn Christmas Eve the bells of the churches and cathedrals ring to call people to the Mass at midnight. Midnight Mass is a tradition in France and in Europe.\nLa veille de Noël\nAdvent is the period of four weeks before the birth of Christ. With the Advent Calendar you can count down the days before Christmas. Behind each window or door, there are pictures or little chocolates.\nLe Calendrier\nde l'Avent\nFrench children don't just leave out stockings or socks, they may also leave their shoes by the fireplace to be filled with gifts from Père Noël.\nChristmas Eve\nIn the morning they also find that sweets, fruit, nuts and small toys have been left by Santa. In other places it is 'Le Petit Jésus' who brings the gifts.\nAdults have no gifts at Christmas but wait until New Year's Day to exchange presents.\nJour de Noël\nFougueux (Dasher)\nDanseur (Dancer)\nFringant (Prancer)\nMégère (Vixen)\nComète (Comet)\nCupidon (Cupid)\nTonnerre (Donner or Thunder)\nEclair (Blixen or Lightning)\nSanta’s reindeer\nMany French homes have a crib or crèche at Christmas time. They may also be seen in shops, town centers and churches.\n'Santons' or 'little saints' are small figurines that make the crib more like real life in a village. The characters are traditional and you can see them mostly in the South of France.\nLa crèche\nMain Point\nMain Point\nOn Christmas Eve, when people have finished buying their last minute purchases, the streets become deserted. It’s time for ‘le réveillon’ or the special Christmas meal. All the family eat together at this time.\nPeople traditionally have seafood, such as oysters, roast turkey and ‘une bûche de Noël’.\nLe réveillon\nThe Bûche de Noël (or Christmas log) is a special cake for Christmas. It’s a sponge cake which is rolled and shaped like a log. Inside there is often a creamy filling and then it is covered in chocolate.\"\nLa Bûche de Noël\nJoyeux Noël et\nBonne année\nThis presentation template\nuses the following free fonts:\nYou can find these fonts online too.\nTITLES:\nGIRASSOL\nHEADERS:\nCHARMONMAN\nBODY COPY:\nGILDA DISPLAY\n#E1283C\n#DECEC0\n#11807B\n#17576D\nUse these design resources ","cbCaipJeZivLPplP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipJeZivLPplP","pptx",43118339,"English","# Christmas holidays in France\n## Key dates and holiday customs\n# Saint Nicholas and festive decorations\n## Sapin de Noël and wreath tradition\n## Mistletoe and Midnight Mass\n# Advent, gifts, and family celebrations\n## Advent calendar and Christmas Eve gifts\n## Crèche and santons\n# Le réveillon and the Bûche de Noël\n## Christmas meal and traditions\n# Design resources\n## Fonts and color palette","[{\"question\":\"Is Boxing Day on December 26 a holiday in France?\",\"answer\":\"No. December 25 is a public holiday, but Boxing Day on December 26 is not a holiday in France because it follows an English tradition.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the significance of the Christmas wreath in France?\",\"answer\":\"A wreath is hung on the door to welcome guests.
