Celebrate Christmas in a Romanian Way

Christmas is a special holiday, so wouldn't be nice to celebrate it in more ways? Romanians celebrate this great day in a very unique way. Spruce up your holiday traditions by adopting a couple of theirs!

Steps

 * 1) 3 days before Christmas, go buy a tree. Not a big one, a medium one is perfect!
 * 2) 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!!!
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) 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!
 * 6) Go caroling. (optional) In Romania, wait for kids who carol, then give them some fruits, or some gingerbread, and then go out caroling ourselves!

Tips

 * About the tree. You should have a real tree, not an artificial one. The real one smells great! Smells like winter!
