In France, Christmas Eve involves a festive family dinner with traditional dishes like turkey and foie gras. Some families attend midnight mass. On Christmas Day, children excitedly open presents that were delivered by Santa Claus and placed under the Christmas tree overnight. The family then enjoys another large meal of turkey and vegetables. In the town of Brioude, there are Christmas decorations, a skating rink, and a Christmas market for celebrations. New Year's Eve involves eating foods like foie gras and salmon before a countdown to midnight and greeting the new year. Epiphany on January 6th commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men and involves eating a special cake.
