Bonjour !

By the way--- you can ask me anything, too! Just send me an email at frederic@talkinfrench.com and subscribe to the weekly newsletter HERE. I might just feature your question pretty soon.
Here’s a question sent by Tara, and I’m publishing it now just in time for Christmas.
“With the holiday season upon us, would you share some common holiday customs in France? For
example: stories, recipes, games or activities etc. would be fun to hear about. Thank you! “

Here’s my reply:
Hello Tara,
I do have some contents on the website related to Christmas. The podcast episodes 36 and 37 (it’s in English so people can listen to it without any language barriers) explained some of the unique French holiday traditions.
I think it covers almost all the aspects you mentioned except perhaps the Christmas stories. I honestly don’t have enough time this year to share some Christmas stories, but next year I will try to do that. Please check below some cool articles related to Christmas.
