Yup, we did celebrate Christmas
Next on the list
New Year
Then the Blessing of the waters on January 6
and St John, Agios Giannis on January 7
It aint over yet
St Nik (not Saint Basil, who appears on New Years eve here, with presents for the children) arrived ringing his bell with a hip hip hooray
We all love our jolly old St Nik
- in Greece, by the way, St Nikolas is not Santa Claus but protector of sailors on the seas
Look Mum, Santa brought me a jar of stilton. Yes, my grandaughter loves stilton.
Presents!
For everyone, including King and Queen
It was one of the best
We even played games. A sort of greek Trivial Pursuit. And my team (with the grandchildren) lost. How the hell did that happen. I never lose....almost never lose
You are blessed with such a happy and wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteHi Yael. Now it's time for a happy new year, at someone else's house
DeleteLooks like a wonderful fun day was had by all
ReplyDeleteToo bad you lost. It happens lol
I’ve slowly started to take down all the decorations but I’ll make sure I’ll finish on the 6th
Because I’m a good Greek girl lol
No no no, it doesn't finish till Jan 6, unless you have a Yianni.
DeleteLooks like a really lovely time! The Nativity isn't over here until Jan 6th, so I can take my time on taking down the tree....yay!
ReplyDeleteEven when we were children in NZ it wasn't over till Jan 6 but decorations had to come down on that day...and they definitely will
DeleteA good time was had by all!
ReplyDeleteBetter than usual. The men didn't party on by themselves?
DeleteThere's never a dull moment with your family. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness it was quieter than usual!! More in my line
DeleteGreat time!!!!!!! And more to come!!!! In Greece, there are always more celebrations to come!
ReplyDeleteIs that you, with the red and white reindeer antlers, on your head???
