The Christmas Night in Romania






 
     Every year on the 25th of December it's Christmas, a special day in our life, a time for families to be together and enjoy each other's company. 
     Yesterday, we repeated some Romanian corals for Christmas Eve. First of this celebration is the firtree's decoration with globes painted in many colours. We also decorate all our rooms with firtree branches. 
     A Christmas midnight! Santa Claus is coming! Under the fir-tree you can find so many presents: it maybe a new computer or maybe a new car why not a Barbie doll?... 
     Our parents will be smiling then. But, what are our best presents for them? 
     That will be our respect and the acceptance their role as our teachers for life and respect for all the people in the World. If Santa Claus ask us to look carefully inside our heart and give an answer: What are our biggest wants right now? 
     We need more security in our life, more food for all the hungry people, peace and every winter day could be Christmas. So, we will light candles and everybody will open his presents. During the night we will eat traditional Romanian Christmas food: force-meal rolls in cabbage or in vine leaves, sausages, blood pudding and cozonac (a Romanian Christmas cake). 
     We hope everyone enjoys the Christmas the same. A very good Christmas this year and forever!
