Our Christmas Traditions!!

Greek Students!!

Christmas in Greece is a big celebration for Greek people. Christmas is always time of the year the best for us. Housewives make  candies, roast turkey and pork for the Christmas table and they never forget the Christmas bread. One to two weeks before Christmas we decorate the Christmas tree and the house with colorful lights. During the Christmas holidays we don’t have school for two weeks, of course. On Christmas Eve we sing Christmas carols.

For us Christmas is always a new start!!!

Funny Girls!!

Christmas in Greece is one of the biggest religious celebrations. All over the country, children go from house to house to sing the Carols for Christmas Day, New Year's and Epiphany. On Christmas Day housewifes make Christmas sweets, turkey, steak, pork and other specialties. On Christmas Eve Greeks cut New Year’s pie in which they've inserted a Christmas coin for good luck. A few days before Christmas we decorate our house so beautifully with flashing lights and decorations. There are people on islands, such as Chios, who decorate a Christmas boat.
