How Do You Celebrate Christmas In A Romanian Way?
• 3 days before Christmas, go buy a tree. Not a big one, a medium one is perfect! • Decorate the tree. In my family, we start decorating the tree with some lights. Then add some tinsel. Add lots of glass bulbs. Don’t forget: everyone in the family should participate in the decorating!!! • Decorate the house. This is so simple: just add some tinsel to the windows, spray them with fake snow, get some candles (Christmas style), you got the idea. • Prepare holiday food. We don’t eat turkey, we eat pork. Get a roast, and prepare it on Christmas Eve. Make or buy some gingerbread. • On Christmas Eve, light those candles you got in step 3, make some hot chocolate, and gather around. Sing Christmas carols, tell Christmas stories, or joke about something. Have fun! Go caroling. (optional) In Romania, wait for kids who carol, then give them some fruits, or some gingerbread, and then go out caroling ourselves!
