La période de Noël s’étend de l’Avent (le premier dimanche quatre semaines avant la veille de Noël) à l’Epiphanie (le 6 janvier). Le 25 décembre, jour de Noël, est en fait le jour de la célébration de la naissance du Christ. Célébration avant tout religieuse, Noël est progressivement devenu une date privilégiée pour les rassemblements en famille.

Les traditions et coutumes relatives à Noël diffèrent selon les pays. En France, la période de Noël s’accompagne de nombreuses coutumes.

Les rues sont ornées de traditionnels sapins, illuminés durant la nuit. Des guirlandes sont généralement suspendues aux fenêtres des maisons ainsi qu’aux arbres. Des marchés de Noël se tiennent sur les places principales des villes, où les gens peuvent trouver décorations de Noël, cadeaux, souvenirs, spécialités culinaires et l’incontournable vin chaud, toujours agréable à déguster en hiver.

La décoration intérieure des maisons passe par le traditionnel sapin, garni d’ornements comestibles (chocolats, bonbons, gâteaux) ou décoratifs (guirlandes, boules, étoiles).
Près du sapin se trouve la crèche, avec des petites figurines (représentant le Christ, Marie, Joseph et des animaux) dans une auberge mettant en scène la Nativité.

En France, le Père-Noël arrive sur son traîneau tiré par des rennes, et dépose des cadeaux dans les souliers des enfants dans la nuit du 24 au 25 décembre - si ces derniers ont été sages durant l’année pour ainsi mériter leurs présents. Noël est par conséquent une fête magique pour les enfants, qui voient leurs vœux les plus chers se réaliser, et ce pour le plus grand bonheur des parents.

Le repas traditionnel de Noël varie selon les régions, mais il comprend bien souvent fois gras, dinde aux marrons, et bûche glacée en dessert. De quoi régaler les plus gourmands!
