=== In our country Christmas is the most celebrated holiday. It’s a time of joy, of hope, of exchanging gifts. We have a custom around here: we spend Christmas with our family and New Years Eve with our friends. Romanians have many traditional dishes for the Christmas table, such as “sarmale”, cozonac, and a variety of meat based specialties. ===

Children visit their relatives and neighbours and sing Christmas Carols. In exchange, they receive treats: candies, apples, pretzels.
