Christmas questions (for France)?

ok so my French teacher says that people in France


-they plant their trees in their backyard after using them for Christmas.


-they put out shoes instead of stockings.





I'm not trying to prove her wrong. Just wanting to see if she is correct.


thanks!

Christmas questions (for France)?
I don't know the answer to the planting of the Christmas tree, except that apt. dwellers probably just toss the trees. Though gifts are given in France, it is on a much smaller scale that in the US and many times, it's mom and dad buying toys for the kids. The presents are wrapped up in Christmas paper and placed under the tree and opened on Christmas a.m. French ppl also tend to send Christmas cards only to close friends and relatives. The cards are usually sold individually and seldom seen are those big boxes of cards like in the US and Britain. Christmas dessert is usually not pudding (like in the UK) or pumpkin pie (US)-- rather a delicious yule log cake often filled with truffle like or hazelnut filling and with whipped cream or frosting on the outside. Reindeer and/or elf figures are often placed on top of the cake. I think that the putting out of shoes is more associated with St. Nicholas Day rather than Christmas Day.
Reply:I don't know. May be true :)


wish you had a wonderful christmas and a happy new year.
