1 december 1918 is the most important date for romanians too. It’s the Great Union Day, the day Romania was born.
That is good to know, thank you.
On December the 1st, in 1918 the Kingdom of Serbians, Croatians, and Slovenians is proclaimed in Belgrade (which also was the capital) and the prince regent Alexander Karadjordjevich the 1st, as the ruler.
That is great trivia, thank you for visiting and commenting.
Great interesting facts. We put up our tree December first.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. No tree here but a wreath and lights in the windows.
It’s a significant date in my life.
On that day 44 years ago my wife and I were married.
Thank God we’re still together.
Oh wow, Happy Anniversary to the lovely couple!
Thank you very much Carol.
