As I write this I am still singing. Today I had a full out Romanian day. Starting with church, followed by the village Christmas service and ending with six hours of Christmas caroling in Romanian.
Romanian Christmas Caroling 101
1) You are suppose to invite the carolers in verbally, you should never assume that they would know you have been waiting for them with cookies and hot chocolate.
2) When you are the caroler and someone hands you money. You take it. It's rude not to.
3) You eat at every house you stop at whether it's five in the evening or going on midnight.
4) Romanian Christmas Caroling is serious stuff. It can last up to three days.
With that all being said I will share some of our pictures from the village.
My favorite little girl hasn't been in awhile, her grandma says they have a new baby in the family and she has been staying home to visit it. I am sad I don't get to see her every Sunday. But I get to see this guy! He is definitively one of my favorites. Always trying to sneak a wink at me. This boy cracks me up.
Mihaela is another regular who comes every week. She is so faithful in trying to learn my name. She is so close, "Shan-nee"
And with Christmas being right around the corner, I think every kid in the village was trying to come today.
Now I am ready to head out to a different village in the morning and continuing my Christmas Caroling all day long.
