Where in the World is Santa? #2
Ho Ho Ho! In this western European country, Christmas is known as Noël and I am known as Father Christmas, or Père Noël. Most provinces celebrate Noël on December 25th, like most countries do. Traditions include La Réveillon, a feast that occurs after Midnight Mass; kids placing their shoes (not stockings) in front of the fireplace to receive my goodies; la Bûche de Noël (yule log cake); and much more! Where in the world am I?
Answer: FRANCE
P.S. 5 Days until Christmas! Hanukkah is tomorrow, while Kwanzaa starts a day after Christmas!
