I mean my family starts buying presents anytime now tbh, I know I’ve already bought some just because the things I wanted had a sale on them. Black Friday is another good chance to get things you want at cheaper prices but depends, the tree goes up in December and gets taken down at new year at the end of the month. You always find tho your adding to what you originally decide you want to get tho

I normally start shopping the first or second week of December. The Christmas tree goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving.
No, we do not celebrate boxing day. At least I have never met another American who celebrates this.
Our advent calendar starts on 14, Noiembrie and many fast from eating meat and take Communion to cleanse and purify our body and soul before Christmas. This rite is usually dismissed because the celebration of Saint Ignatie’s Day which opens the Winter Season and the family gathers to prepare the slaughtered porc (pig) for the Christmas Day feast. There is quite a long preparation that takes a long time and everything is utilized to make many porc dishes including sausages, chops, ribs, pickling and of course bacon. No matter who’s porc it is, everyone is entitled to partake as it is prosperous and fulfilling bring good luck.
We also have a tradition when we were children on Moș Nicolae (Saint Nicholas) day where we clean our boots and place them under the window on the eve of 5, Decembrie in hopes to find treats and fruit in them the next morn. If you were naughty, an ugly stick with ribbon would be placed in your boot. Papa never gave us a stick as we were all his little Angels.
We used to write letters to Moș Nicolae of gifts we wanted and placed it under the same window where our boots were. The next morning they would be gone and we knew they were taken from Moș Nicolae assistance.
So many traditions go on and vary depending what region you’re from and some are practiced as they did hundreds of years ago and some have altered to modern day values.
