It loves Christmas

Moldovans are noted for their outstanding celebrations of Jesus Christ's birth. Moldovans begin their celebrations as early as November, with a lot of food and decorating. Unlike its Russian-Orthodox neighbors, Moldova celebrates Christmas from December 24 to December 26. (their main event is in January). The feasting, parties, and gift-giving begin in November with the baking of cakes and the killing of pigs, and end with three days of feasting, parties, and gift-giving.

After Moldova acquired independence, the Russian Father Frost myth was abolished, and children's presents are now brought by Mos Craciun, who resembles our Santa Claus.
