Transcript Christmas presentation

Christmas is an annual commemoration of
the birth of Jesus Christ.Although the
countries of the whole world officially
celebrate the Christmas occasion on 25th of
December as on the Western calendar but in
Moldova Christmas is often celebrated on
January 7 as on the Eastern Orthodox
calendar.
Usually, we decorate
the Christmas tree with
globes of different
colors, tinsel, lights,
bows and put a star on
top. Our city is
decorated with many
lights and the trees too.
The singing of carols is a very important part of
Christmas festivities. Throughout the Christmas
season, little children (especially those in the
villages) visit every house in the locality singing
carols such as Steaua ('The Star'), Trei Pastori ('The
Three Shepherds') and Mos Craciun ('Santa Claus ').
Children are rewarded for carols sung. While urban
children receive expensive gifts and money, those in
the villages have to settle with sweets, fruit, nuts,
and pastries as Christmas gifts.

“cozonac”. This rich fruit bread requires a long
preparation time that begins early on the
morning of Christmas Eve. “For 5 kg of flour,
30 eggs are used and 3 kg of white sugar

Before Christmas, children write a
letter to Santa Claus and put it on
the window or under the
Christmas Tree, that Santa would
bring them what they asked for .
On the night of 6 to 7, Santa is
sneaking into the house and put
presents under the tree for the
good children. In the morning they
find presents and unfold to see
what they have received.
