Cette célébration a lieu à l'Épiphanie, dont la date n'est pas figée - elle peut être soit le 6 janvier, soit le premier dimanche de ce mois.</p> <table align="right" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt"><tr><td align="center"> <a target="_blank" href="http://z.about.com/d/french/1/0/J/H/2/galettedesroiss.jpg"> <img src="http://z.about.com/d/french/1/0/I/H/2/galettedesrois.jpg" border="0" align="right" alt="Galettes des rois et fèves"></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"> &#160;<i>Deux galettes des rois<br /> avec leurs fèves</i><font size="1"> &#169;</font> LKL</td></tr></table> <p>Plus intéressant encore, il y a <i>la galette des rois</i>. Ce gâteau particulier se mange généralement tout au long du mois de janvier. Selon la région, la galette des rois se fait de plusieurs façons : elle peut être feuilletée ou briochée, certaines sont fourrées à la frangipane, et d'autres décorées de fruits confits. Mais ce qui distingue la galette des rois des autres gâteaux, c'est la fève à l'intérieur, voire deux&#160;: une vraie fève, et souvent aussi une figurine ou un petit bibelot.</p> <p>Pendant le tirage des rois (la découpe de la galette), la personne qui tire la fève (c'est-à-dire, qui la trouve dans sa part de galette) devient roi ou reine, reçoit une couronne en carton (fournie par la boulangerie) et choisit son compagnon. J'ai tant aimé les fèves que j'ai trouvées dans ma première galette (chez une amie) et ma deuxième galette (chez moi) que j'en ai acheté une troisième - mais ils avaient oublié d'y mettre la fève.

Non, ce n'est pas le début d'une blague&#160;; je vous explique pourquoi j'ai tendance à dire <i>meilleurs vœux</i> ou <i>bonnes fêtes</i> au lieu de <i>joyeux Noël</i>. Longtemps avant d'avoir entendu le terme <i>politiquement correct</i>,* j'avais appris qu'il y avait de grandes différences entre les croyances de mes copines, sans compter celles des milliers d'habitants de notre ville. Du coup, j'ai décidé de dire «&#160;joyeux 25 décembre&#160;» à tout le monde. Je reconnais que c'était vaseux, mais je cherchais un moyen de partager de bons souhaits sans favoriser une fête, et donc une religion. Je ne voulais offenser personne, et je ne le veux toujours pas. Évidemment, certains de mes abonnés sont chrétiens, d'autres ne le sont pas - il faut de tout pour faire un monde.</p> <p>Je vous envoie mes meilleures pensées - et pas seulement aujourd'hui, mais tous les jours de l'année. J'espère que vous serez heureux et en bonne santé, que vous partagerez de bons moments avec les amis et la famille. Mes meilleurs vœux à vous et à vos êtres chers.</p> <p>*C'est la <b><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://french.about.com/od/vocabulary/g/traduction.htm">traduction</a></b> (mot du jour) du terme anglais, mais il faut savoir que l'idée de «&#160;politiquement correct&#160;» est complètement étrangère à l'esprit français.</p> <p align="center">. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br /><i>Subscribe&#160; -&#160; Abonnez-vous</i><br /> <font size="1"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://z.about.com/6/g/french/b/rss2.xml">BLOG RSS</a>&#160; &#124;&#160; <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://french.about.com/library/bl_newsletter.htm">NEWSLETTER</a>&#160; &#124;&#160; <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://twitter.com/lkl">TWITTER</a>&#160; &#124;&#160; <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://www.facebook.com/pages/Learn-French-at-About/23663118155">FACEBOOK</a></font><br /> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .</p> <p><i><b>English translation</b></i> <a href =http://french.about.com/b/a/256709.htm>Read more...</a><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://french.about.com/b/2009/12/25/bonnes-fetes.htm">Bonnes fêtes !</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://french.about.com/">About.com French Language</a> on Friday, December 25th, 2009 at 01:00:33.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://french.about.com/b/2009/12/25/bonnes-fetes.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://french.about.com/b/2009/12/25/bonnes-fetes.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://french.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://french.about.com/b/2009/12/25/bonnes-fetes.htm&zItl=Bonnes fêtes !">Email this</a></p> http://french.about.com/b/2009/12/25/bonnes-fetes.htm 2009-12-25T01:00:33Z http://french.about.com/b/2009/12/24/french-calendars.htm It's time to get a new calendar or date book, so why not incorporate just that little bit more French into your life by using a calendar that's either in French or about France?
