In Korea, with the Christmas season, it is freezing. It is rare that snow, but our first two Christmases we woke up on December 25 surprised and delighted to see the snow. This is the time of year when the sky is blue, which is very pleasant despite the cold (not fresh) from the air.

Christmas is a day like any other at the “land of morning calm.” What do Koreans for Christmas ?…. There’s nothing much they follow the lunar calendar and their two major holidays fall around October, Chusok (harvest festival, a tribute to the ancestors) and into February, Solnal (celebration of the Lunar New Year). We, the West, are quite disappointed to not see illuminated streets, spruce, decorated windows, especially the first year. We know that approach Christmas even if we are completely “staggered” when we benefit from the trip (if applicable) in France by the husband or family visits to bring gifts, foie gras and possibly champagne, of course they are unaffordable here.

The toys are quite limited in choice, Barbie for girls and for boys Lego …. thanks to the websites of VPC and dads traveling with surpluses toys, books, CD-rom and food!

Al’Église Catholic, we can have a Christmas Mass in french. Moreover, this evening many Koreans Christians attend mass in their paroisse.Ils are doing in general. Then, they make a meal (and fast as everyone else!) And voila.

So there is no real tradition of Christmas as we understand it, then we try to recreate the atmosphere in our homes. Over the past two years, we are now more and more Christmas decorations (Koreans often look in our caddies and take the same thing) … And, nod to my neighbor Korean! Who placed a wreath on his door at Christmas in 1999 when we put ourselves ours (when we arrived), and who has since left! !
