Well, there's a Romanian Christmas story about a poor shepherd. On Christmas Eve, as he was out in the cold fields, he suddenly saw a bright light. Following it, he came across an old woman. The woman gave him a warm cloak and a bag of food. When he tried to thank her, she disappeared. He realized it was a Christmas miracle. And in many Romanian stories, the Christmas star plays an important role, guiding people to good things and representing hope during the holiday season.
A popular Romanian Christmas story is about the spirit of Christmas spreading kindness. In a small Romanian town, there was a grumpy old man who never liked Christmas. But one year, on Christmas Eve, a group of children singing carols visited his house. Their innocent joy and the Christmas spirit in their voices touched his heart. He then started to participate in the Christmas celebrations, sharing his food and gifts with the neighbors. This shows how the magic of Christmas can change even the coldest of hearts in Romanian Christmas lore.
One Romanian Christmas story is about the 'Mos Craciun' (Father Christmas). He is said to travel on a sleigh pulled by reindeer and bring presents to good children. On Christmas Eve, families gather for a big feast. Another story involves the magic that is believed to be in the air during Christmas. It is said that the animals can talk at midnight on Christmas. In Romanian villages, there are also tales of how the poorest families sometimes receive unexpected gifts and kindness during this festive time.
