There is so much to say about Xmas in France: Iโve written many articles so here is a recap! Follow the links to read/listen to my French Xmas articles: some have audio recordings or videos.
Letโs start by taking a look at the French Xmas Vocabulary.
How Do You Say Xmas in French?
Xmas in French is โNoรซlโ. Itโs a rather short word so there is no abbreviation for it.
French people may have learned the word Christmas in English class, but itโs unlikely theyโd be familiar with the abbreviation Xmas, or that theyโd be able to understand it!
