BELGIUM On Christmas Eve (le r‚veillion de No‰l, a special meal is common. It starts with a drink (ap‚ritif) and 'nibbles', followed by a 'starter' course such as sea-food, and then stuffed turkey. The dessert is 'la b–che de No‰l, ('Christmas log') - cake made with cream. Father Christmas is called 'Saint Nicholas' and he brings presents to children on December 6th, 'St. Nicholas Day', a long time before Christmas. Small family presents are given at Christmas too, under the tree, or in stockings near the fire-place, to be found in the morning. Christmas breakfast is a special sweet bread called 'cougnou' or 'cougnolle' - the shape is supposed to be like baby Jesus. Some families will have another big meal on Christmas day.
