Sometimes repeating what you previously said in another article brings even more happiness and joy as you realise that Draculasguidetoromania is reaching almost 2 years of work:

Growing up, I would dress up very snugly and go caroling to family, friends, and relatives. I would get sweets, and most importantly, I would receive some money. I know money isn’t what holidays are all about, but I needed cash to buy things, and as I wasn’t in the workforce, this was my best source of income.

Up, at the gates of Heaven (better translations At the heavens gates)

A true classical Christmas Carol that I have hearnt many many times and it basically describes Mary rocking Jesus.

Three shepherds

A short little carol about 3 shepherds bringing a small gift to Christ.

Ooooh, What great news!

A carol announcing the birth of Jesus. It is a very beautiful song but I would like you to imagine that a lot of kids have sung this carol, including me, and it is really difficult to sing. So just imagine a group of 10 or more kids trying to sing it and parents trying to be supportive. I find it funny now… and a bit cringe… But you know life is beautiful especially on holidays.

At Bethlehem Cave

Nuns and caroling do an amazing job, found this short carol about the birth of Jesus, and performed by nuns.

The growling carol – A modern take on a carol

I just find this whimsical, funny carol the perfect way to end a very political year. This song is about how bears are affected by politics, and in a way everything ends up with their growl. In Romanian, Rawr (Mor) translates to die or I’m dying. Romanians find this very funny, as we do have quite a dark sense of humour.

And Dracula’s favorite:

  1. The choir was particularly beautiful, and who could resist those ‘pigs’ 🙂
