圣誕老人會把禮物放在鞋子里？

    We are talking about different Christmas traditions from around the
world. In France， children actually leave their shoes out so that Pere
Noel， or Father Christmas， can leave presents in their shoes. And this
is actually done on Christmas Eve. And on Christmas Day ， the birth of
Christ is actually reenacted in cathedral squares ， and they actually
use actors as well as little puppets to recreate the scene.

    And very， very traditional in most homes in France are nativity scenes，
or cruches， and they consist not just of the holy family ， but also
of little saints， which in French is santons. And these have been created
from molds that have been passed down from generation to generation. As
you can imagine ， the nativity scenes are very unique. The cr？ches are
homemade， and the santons are traditionally sold throughout the Christmas
season at different markets and at different venues. And this is something
that's been going on， as I said， for generations. And some of the food
in France ， actually ， that they eat sort of varies from region to region.
In some areas they eat goose. In another they eat oysters. And a traditional
dessert in France is the Christmas log， or the Busche de Noel. And that
is very popular ， and most homes have the Christmas log. Christmas trees
are not really quite as common in France. It actually never really caught
on.
