Task:
Find out about some French Christmas Traditions - present your findings in a powerpoint or poster.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Santa Claus is known as le Père Noël. In some parts they celebrate the feast day of St Nicolas on the 6th.
St Nicolas has a helper le Père Fouettard.
In the city of Lyon there is a Festival of Lights known as La Fête des Lumières.
In Provence it's traditional to display a nativity scene (une crèche) which always includes a figure called le ravi.
Instead of a stocking hung by the fire, French children use a shoe (Le soulier de Noël).
On the 6th of January (L' Épiphanie) they traditionally eat King's Cake (La galette des Rois).
In Quebec, Canada (where French is the main language) it's so cold that every year they can build an Ice Hotel - where even the beds are made of ice! They also have a Winter Carnival (Carnaval de Québec) complete with a mascot called Bonhomme.
