Excuse me, i'm French.

Maybe i haven't understood all about what you said.I think you're a little wrong about our French Christmas.

SO, in France, there are :

people having Christian Christmas, with Nativity scene recreated

and people having Christmas, with the Père Noël, the Christmas Father, who goes in all houses with a sled and his reindeers.

There is a Christmas tree in each house.

Christmas meal is a big tradition. i can't summarize.

Christmas is different too, in each French land.

I watched this to see if she also was wrong about this country...cause im Danish, and she was wrong with MY country too!...and it sounds like she has problems with "reading the cards", if you know what im saying!...am I the ONLY one here who just wants to punch her face right now!!?...

No Christmas tree? Most houses have one, and we can have both goose and oysters!

And usually the recreation of the nativity scene is not done by people or puppets, but by big santons in churches, smaller ones in houses. And it's "bûche", not "busche" ! And the shoes stuff has not been done since the 70's or so, only a few people still do this!

Christmas trees not traditional in France??? What nonsense! Every house has got one. Get your facts right before introducing your videos...and that strong American accent makes it extremely difficult for non Americans to understand anything you say.(even difficult for an English person)

well i know a book written by Michel Tournier it's called "Sept contes" and in this book there is a christmas story about the santa claus's wife

i don't if that's you're lookin for but it may help you in a way!
