Well, the holiday season is here in many parts of the world. Although France is home to many different world religions, it is predominantly Roman Catholic (85% according to WikiAnswers). So, everything to do with the Christmas season can be found in France as well as Québec. Thus, this month I will write a few different articles about Noël. And to start it all off, I’m going to give you some titles of French Christmas carols and see if you can figure out what their English equivalents or translations are…
Vive le vent

So, write a comment if you know any of them and I’ll provide the answers in an article in a couple of days.
Bonne chance!
