Carol singing
• On Christmas Eve, children prepare to go carol singing. They make a “Star” with ribbons and flowers.
• It symbolizes the star that was followed by the Magi to find Jesus in Bethlehem.
“Astazi s-a nascut Hristos!Today Christ is born!
• Children go from one house to another, singing carols and receiving pretzels, nuts, apples, cakes
• They put all the goodies in a special hand-made bag called “traista”
The “Bear”
• One child in the group wears a bear costume (sometimes it is real bear fur) and he performs a really cool dance which is called the “bear’s dance”
• This dance is a lot of fun and children really enjoy it
The “Goat”
• Two or more children wear hand-made colorful costumes and masks of goats
• They perform a nicely-paced dance, accompanied by music and funny rhymes
The Christmas tree
• A global tradition is to place a beautiful fir-tree in the living room and have all family members around and put ornaments and candies in it
• Santa Clause comes in through the Chimney and leaves gifts for the children
Traditional Christmas food
Cozonac – home-made pastry with nuts and cocoa filling, absolutely delicious!
Sarmale – cabbage stuffed with meat and rice, so yummy!
