GREEK CUSTOMS AT CHRISTMAS
At Christmas we decorate a Christmas tree and a boat. We always sing carols on Christmas Eve and open presents from Father Christmas on New Year’s Day (January 1st). We make Christmas cards at school and sometimes send them. We always eat vasilopita (New Year’s Pie) and hope the lucky coin is in our piece. We decorate our house with lights. We sometimes eat turkey and we often eat traditional honey sweets – melomakarona and Greek shortbread – kourabiethes.

Christmas trees in picture were made by Grade 2 students and their creative teacher Ms. Afroditi.
