French children put their shoes in front of the fireplace, in the hopes that Père Noël (aka Papa Noël) will fill them with gifts. Candy, fruit, nuts, and small toys will also be hung on the tree overnight. In some regions there's also Père Fouettard who gives out spankings to bad children (sort of the equivalent of Santa Claus
Val says that probably is not so discussed now as " bad" children and " spanking" no longer exist.
Now it is " he or she likes to express themselves" and may be you could be sent to the naughty step if you continue.
