    What does Noel Mean
    I'm at work :), and we're having a debate on what Noel means. I did a Google search, and found it in wikipedia, but all it says is a christmas celebration, or a christmas carol. We're all wondering what exactly it means when you say "Noel" :)

    Thanks! :D

    I always thought it was French for Christmas.

    Noel essentially means "Day of birth".

    It come from the Latin "Natal" (I think) and the old French variant of that, "nael"

Bon Noel? [ 5 Answers ]

Bonjour! Can anyone tell be how to say Happy Christmas and possibly I love you lots in French. It's not for homework it's for a joke card Le Chat Domestique et son Caractere. I'm trying to turn it into a Christmas card for my boyfriend. Failing this I'm going to have to write Ca va bien merci...
