Christmas day was filled with church, food and relaxing. In Romania there is usually a Christmas Eve service, 2 services on Christmas Day and then one on the day after. We started Christmas morning with a church service. Following church we went to Sorin and Monica's (associate pastor) for lunch. We spent the entire day with them eating the traditional Romanian Christmas meal: Sarmale (cabbage rolls), Mamaliga (polenta), Boeuf Salad (think potato salad) and other things. We relaxed all afternoon with them and then we all attended the Christmas Day evening service. After church we went with Oti and Cami (pastor) to their house for some more food! It seems like we went from church to food to church and back to food. It was great!
On Friday we were invited to Andy and Claudia's for lunch. It was another round of Sarmale and Boeuf Salad but this time we ate a traditional soup and sausages. Again we spent the whole day with them relaxing and visiting. It eventually led into dinner where will pulled out the leftovers and started again!
This is our last Christmas to be in Romania (as residents) since we leave in June. It was a special time to spend with the people to whom we are closest. There weren't a lot of pictures taken but a lot of memories made.
