A Traditional French Christmas Dinner
For
each family, there is a special way to celebrate
Christmas, and especially a traditional french Christmas (eve) dinner. In France, we do share however some
traditional étiquettes for
the Reveillon
de Noël.
Every principal member of the family brings some gourmet specialties
unique to his or her own region, generally from a particular
reputable artisan (craftsman)
or éleveur (grower/farmer).

French Christmas Customs
Christmas
customs, originating in the Middle East, were introduced to France by

celebration when, in 496, Clovis and his 3,000 warriors were
baptized. Bishop Rémi had purposely chosen the day of the Nativity
for this ceremony. Other important events eventually took place on
Christmas day in the following years.
