The document summarizes how a Greek school celebrated Christmas. Some of the activities included decorating classrooms, writing letters to Santa, making Christmas cards, reading texts about Christmas traditions in other countries, learning and singing Christmas songs, putting on a charity bazaar, watching Christmas plays, baking traditional sweets, and singing carols with a triangle. The purpose was to celebrate the Christmas season together as a school community in the weeks leading up to the winter holidays.

Christmas is a time of fun, joy and hope for all the
children around the world.
This time of the year is very special in our school,
too. Together with our teachers, we celebrate
Christmas in many different ways, starting at the
beginning of December up until the 23rd of
December, when our school closes for the Christmas
holidays.
Here, we are going to present what we did at school
this year to celebrate Christmas. We hope you’ll
enjoy it with us!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
