December 1 is Romania's day, the day it was united in its current form, so I went with the children to the city center and participated in the parade organized for this purpose. (pictures 1,2)

          December 5th followed immediately, the day when children receive gifts from "Mos Nicolae". They also received ours, but from other grandparents :) (pictures 3-6)

          Then I went into action, without a break until December 24: butchered pork, turkeys, whitewashed, collected food from Lidl through the "Food Bank" program, with the help of friends from America I drilled a well in the hope of finding good water at greater depth, unfortunately in the area there is only salt water from 50 m down, we scrapped old cars, tried new haircuts, played games, sorted the goods received donations, received visitors from Germany, from Bacau, from the Adventist Church, from Italy, we had about 4 celebrations, we went with carols, etc.... then we stopped a little from this alert rhythm. (pictures 7 – 44)

          The December celebrations were Loredana, Dumitrita and Beniamin. May God bless them all. (picture 45)

          We spent New Year's Eve at our house, with all kinds of goodies and activities. (pictures 46-50)
