Share your Christmas story in Romania

Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year, is the holiday that brings us together, dresses cities with lights, and surrounds us with joy and happiness.

Romanian Christmas is not just about gifts, visiting friends, and rich meals; it is a laborious process. The old and preserved traditions make this holiday more beautiful year by year. It starts from Ignat Day (December 20), beginning with the preparation of the traditional pork specialities and the specific food and desserts, ending with the Christmas carols and the masked dances (The dances of the Bear, the Stag or the Goat). Romania has always found its way to conquer the hearts of travellers, like the stories and traditions from Transylvania, which made it one of the top 10 region destinations in 2016, according to Lonely Planet.

This year, we would like to offer Romanians a gift, a small sign of gratitude for everything that Romania represents, but mostly for what it could be. We want to show foreigners a side of Romania that they don’t know. This is why we try to collect as many impressions as possible from foreigners who celebrated Christmas in Romania, with their family, friends, or simply as guests. What better gift for Christmas than joy and a magical experience to share happiness?

This is exactly why we started a new campaign on our blog (oh, the joy!) to show others why Christmas in Romania is so special. Share your Christmas story in Romania is the name, and the way it works is quite simple. We have the pleasure of receiving comments and pictures from readers all around the globe on our Facebook page, where they can share their Christmas stories in Romania. So, if you, your brother, sister, mother, best friend, aunt or someone you know spent Christmas in Romania, tell them to write to us.

The best stories will be published in a new article on the blog every week so that the whole world can admire your story. 

Share the joy! Share your Christmas story in Romania!
