The Christmas period in Brasov is always an absolute celebration period covering the city in various colours giving the starts for the winter holiday season spirits. It is well-known the big Christmas tree lighting moment on Saint Nicolaus day from the famous Council square (Piata Sfatului). The event is accompanied by pop music and carol concerts.
This is also that period of the year when most of the Facebook profiles have background pictures with the beloved lighted Christmas tree. And the likes for such pictures are without count. Pictures with the gorgeous tree are not taken only by the people from Brasov, but also by tourists visiting Brasov winter after winter.
The Christmas spirit is not felt only due to the lights covering the city such in a pleasant and always surprising manner, but also due to the pleased people filled with the joy of the new winter season and the gift rush. This is the time when in restaurants and shops the ambient music is replaced with carols, each window shop having various Christmas decorations, when everyone makes the resolution for the next year and most importantly the moment when families reunite around their Christmas tree.
Christmas is felt under a lot of dimensions by many of us. For example, to some is the time when they can have lots of sleep, when they can finally find the peace of mind, Christmas is gift sharing and receiving (especially when you see the gift was up to the wishes of the receiver), is finishing your thousand mobile minutes on calls with those you haven’t heard for a while, is opening a big orange. All these and a lot more lay within the Christmas period in Brasov.
