Christmas is about giving, hope, peace and light, says President Klaus Iohannis in the message sent on the occasion of Christmas, and compassion, love and generosity are the most precious gifts we can offer.

For his part, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, PSD leader, mentioned that this is a celebration of hope.

Marcel Ciolacu: Dear Romanians, on this holy day I wish you good health, joy and peace with your family. For us Romanians, the celebration of Nativity is about joy and hope, it is the day when Jesus came to give the world hope that good can, and will win. I want you to embrace with me the hope for Romania's chance. Together, with confidence, we can build the country we want for our children! Spend beautiful moments with your family and trust that together we can do much more! Merry Christmas!

The President of the Senate, PNL leader Nicolae Ciuca, also sent health wishes to the Romanians.

Nicolae Ciuca: Dear Romanians, I send you my warmest thoughts and wishes for health, joy, peace, unity and hope! Let's keep our faith alive in God, in Romania, in ourselves and in our future, which together we have the power to make better. I wish you blessed holidays with your family, with all your loved ones! Merry Christmas!
