We explained how we celebrate Christmas in France in the letters we sent to our pen-friends for Christmas. Have a look at some examples of letters!

Dear penpal,

I wish you a merry Christmas!

I want to know how long are your Christmas holidays.

This year our holidays start on December 21^st and finish on    January 7th . What about you?

 For Christmas we eat foie gras  in France. I’m crazy about it.

We decorate a Christmas tree.

For Christmas children write a letter to Father Christmas and we ask him to bring lots of presents!

 One day before Christmas ( on Christmas eve) we have one present in our plate.

And  on December 25^th in the morning we can see presents under the Christmas tree. It’s great!

Your penpal Theo.

Dear Rachel,

I was very happy to read your letter. We have many common points:) You look very kind;)

You are sporty like me. I'm crazy about sports. Especially athletics and swimming. I practise it and you?

My favourite subjects are P.E and English and I don't like maths and technology.

I like music but just singing and playing an instrument and not at school ^^ I would like to play the piano …

You've got blue eyes, like me;)

Me, when I'm older I will be a midwife or an osteopate:)

It's soon Christmas, I'm very excited:) In France we celebrate Christmas with our family. We  decorate a Christmas tree  with balls, tinsels and other decorations . We put under  the Christmas tree the crib  with the characters of the Bible ( for Christian families). We eat chocolate, lots of chocolates ! And we get presents on December 25th. What are the traditions in Scotland?

Bye ,

 Merry Christmas and happy new year:)
