This document provides information about Christmas traditions in three European countries: Germany, Italy, and France. In Germany, children leave shoes outside on December 5th-6th hoping that Santa will fill them with gifts, and families enjoy foods like suckling pig, goose, and baked goods. In Italy, gifts are opened on Christmas Day or Epiphany, brought by La Befana instead of Santa, and families have fish on Christmas Eve. In France, small gifts may be given on December 6th, children's shoes by the fire are filled with presents, and families have a feast including oysters and goose after midnight mass.
