The Christmas season in France begins with St.

Nicholas Day which is December 6th. Historically,

gifts were always exchanged on this day, at least

for children. Nowadays, some families have

retained this tradition, while others have changed

their gift-giving date to Christmas Eve, when Père

Noël visits the homes of children. Other families

celebrate both days with gifts.

For religious families, the Christmas season begins

on the first Sunday of Advent, which is the four

Sundays leading up to Christmas. These four Sunday

masses are special ones at Catholic churches, much

like the Christmas Eve midnight mass is easily

distinguished from a generic Sunday mass.

From the specialty lighting on the streets at night,

to singing in churches, the Christmas season lasts

throughout December and carries on until

Epiphany-a full twelve days after Christmas. The

Epiphany celebration, with its special cake with a

treat hidden inside it for one lucky eater, signals the

end of the Christmas season.
