The lights on the tree

At Christmas we usually decorate a Christmas tree and open presents.
This is a song for the Christmas season.

Making Christmas bread

Christopsomo (Χριστόψωμο = Christ's bread), is a Greek bread decorated with a cross.
Christopsomo is a rich, round loaf scented with wine soaked figs, anise and orange. It sometimes contains such ingredients as nuts, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and mastiha, a dried pine raisin. The preparation of Christopsomo is considered a sacred tradition in Greek Orthodox homes, and the care with which it is made is said to ensure the well-being of the home in the year to come.

 (from Wikipedia)

The students of the 5th Grade made Christopsomo with their teacher, Ms Helen, and I took a few photos of the preparation of the bread.

Rejoice! Christ is born!

“Gaudete” (“Rejoice”) is a sacred Christmas carol, composed sometime in the 16th century, in Latin. Listen to it! You may like it as much as I do!

Christmas at last!

Merry Christmas!

Wonderful Christmas time

Isn' it wonderful when you spend it with your family and friends and those who love you?

Wonderful Christmas Time

Once upon a time there was a tree...

Watch the Greek fairy tale The boy and the tree.
A moving story...

Last Christmas I gave you my heart...

... and now I keep wondering why I made such a mistake! (LOL)

Rudolph the reindeer!

...red-nosed and everything! This is his story.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.,
But do you recall?
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history.
