    French Christmas celebrations begin on December 6th and include attending midnight mass on Christmas Eve, though this is often held earlier at 8pm. Children leave their shoes by the fireplace for Le Père Noël to leave small presents, instead of using Christmas stockings. Traditional French Christmas desserts are La bûche de Noël, a Yule Log cake, and La Galette des Rois cake eaten on January 6th which has a charm inside for whoever finds it to be named King/Queen for the day.
