I have to do lessons for junior children next week. Can anyone help me with some Christmas vocabulary? My french is 20 years old!
I could do with words like:
snowman
robin
christmas tree
angel
christmas pudding
star
3 wise men

er....

gift
bay Jesus
cracker
Father Christmas

A pronnunciation guide would also be very very useful!

Oh oh also what would I write in a Christmas card and I need a phrase for a winter card for a Jehovah's witness.

Big thankyou if you can help!!!

robin = rouge-gorge
christmas tree = sapin de Noël
angel = ange
Christmas pudding (equivalent) = bûche (log)
star = étoile
three wise men = les trois Rois mages
gift = cadeau
baby Jesus = l'enfant Jésus
cracker = doesn't exist, they are English
Father Christmas = le Père Noël

Anna is good, she lives there

I forgot about your Christmas card.

Yes, Bonnes Fêtes is a good, culturally neutral greeting for a card.

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année = Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I am just hoping there is no one listening in the corridor!!!
