Bulgarian Christmas tradition is #Koledari, carolers who sing for community members starting at midnight on Christmas Eve. To usher in the new year many Bulgarians celebrate with the #SurvaFestival where people dress up in elaborate costumes known as #Kukeri to scare away bad spirits and bring good luck.
