We had to ask the audience to park their loyalties for a couple of hours as, amongst other things, we were competing with a certain football match!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reading we had highlighted some of the surprising, and for most of us hitherto unknown, differences between the French and English Christmas customs and traditions. Though France is only a short trip away across the Channel, when it comes to Christmas, they seem miles apart. And depending on which part of France you\u2019re in, you might find something other than turkey on your plate at Christmas dinner, and often open presents on a different day entirely!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it starts with letters from French children to Father Christmas, which always receive a response from Santa (or P\u00e8re No\u00ebl). Since 1962, France has had a law that stipulates any letter to him must be responded to by a postcard, thus ensuring that everyone gets an answer, making many thousands of children happy \u2013 and it puts a smile on the postmens\u2019 faces too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally speaking, here in the UK Christmas is celebrated on the 25th December, but in North and North-Eastern France, children receive their presents much earlier on the 6th December, which is St Nicholas\u2019 Day. There is an old folklore story told in France about three little children who get lost and captured by a wicked butcher, <strong>P\u00e8re Fouettar<\/strong>d. Fortunately for them, St Nicholas rescues them, which is how he became the patron saint of children. And so, every year on the night before the 6th December, children leave out a boot or a shoe, often near the fireplace or a window, for St Nicholas, who gives out gifts, sweets and gingerbread to all the good children, accompanied by <strong>P\u00e8re Fouettard<\/strong>, who leaves the naughty ones lumps of coal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the British tradition of the Christmas stocking isn\u2019t really a thing in France, though both traditions have the same origin. According to another legend, St Nicholas threw gold coins or gold balls (depending on which version of the story you are reading) through the window or down the chimney of a needy family. They landed in the family\u2019s shoes or stockings, and this is nowadays represented by traditional stocking fillers, such as chocolate coins in gold foil and oranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And coming to the matter of the table, whether you\u2019re a fan of sprouts or not, it\u2019s safe to say that Christmas dinner in France, just as here, is one of the best meals of the year. Not necessarily, of course, just for the food, but also because it\u2019s a time when you get to sit down and enjoy spending time with your family and friends, whom you might not otherwise see as often as you\u2019d like. But in France, as with present-giving days, the big Christmas meal is often eaten on a different day, since the prevailing tradition is for everyone to sit down together and feast on the 24th December for a long, often luxurious meal called a <strong>R\u00e9veillon<\/strong>, coming from the verb \u2018reveiller\u2019, meaning to \u2018wake up\u2019 or \u2018revive\u2019. This tends to start in the evening, sometimes following a day of fasting, and goes on, often for 6 hours or more, until midnight and beyond. As well as turkey stuffed with chestnuts, you may also find lobster, snails, and oysters on the table, and for dessert, a <strong>B\u00fbche de No\u00ebl<\/strong>, which is a chocolate yule log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, being France all this rich food is accompanied by fine wines and champagne, for that little extra indulgence, and it\u2019s traditional to sing carols and songs around the table. So, as you can imagine, Christmas dinner is also a lively, and especially merry affair in France!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Provence in the South, there is a delightful and delicious tradition of 13 desserts served at Christmas dinner, representing Jesus and his 12 disciples. There is usually a mix of figs, hazelnuts or walnuts, almonds and dried fruits as well as a traditional cake called the <strong>pompe \u00e0 l\u2019huile<\/strong>, which is bread-like in texture, and made with olive oil and flavoured with orange blossom. As part of this Christmas tradition, everyone has to taste each dessert in order to ensure good luck in the coming year. And we think we struggle, after our turkey, with a spoonful of Christmas pudding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another festive cake eaten in France is the <strong>Galette des rois<\/strong>, or cake of kings, which is enjoyed particularly at Epiphany on the 6th January. Made of puff pastry filled with frangipane or apples, a small charm or bean called a f\u00e8ve is hidden somewhere inside, and if you find the <strong>f\u00e8ve<\/strong> in your slice, you are given a gold paper crown proclaiming you king or queen for the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, whilst the customs and traditions may vary, in addition to the celebration of the birth of a very special child, in France as here, the spirit of feasting and goodwill at Christmas time is a constant \u2013 and may it always remain so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Henry Ibberson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"would-you-like-to-write-a-view-from-the-pews\">Would you like to write a View from the Pews?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We welcome contributions for View from the Pews from anyone who would like to write one, It does not need to be on any particular subject.
