Christmas Eve
The 24th of December is a working day. Most people go home earlier than normal to prepare the party. They decorate their tables very nicely with different things like: candles, coloured napkins… People also have a Christmas tree with Christmas balls and festoons in white, red, silver and gold.

In the evening, people come together to celebrate Christmas Eve with their family. They eat a lot of typical meals like: stuffed Christmas turkey, fondue, gourmet, foie gras, king crab and ice with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.
Christmas is a very important day for the Christians. They go to church at midnight to celebrate the birth of Jezus. It’s a special moment, everyone is friendly and kind to each other.
