Newsletter: Merry Kwizmas!

Merry Kwizmas!

This week, it’s Christmas!!! We’re celebrating with the people (and/or pets) we love, and wishing all of you a joyeux Noël 🥰🎄

A French Christmas is of course about gifts (especially for the children!), but the clou du spectacle is le Réveillon de Noël, the Christmas Eve dinner. It’s all about gathering your cherished ones around the beautifully decorated table, and sharing a lavish multi-course meal that lasts several hours, while chatting, laughing and yes, “debating”! I for one can’t wait to join my family for a Noël à la française 😊

What about your Christmas? Come and share your own Christmas traditions and festive cheers with us on the Newsletter comment section below! ✍️🎁

Alors, sans plus attendre, put on your most festive hats to celebrate all the Christmas-y French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 🎅😄
