The weather in Greece in December is usually not very cold, with sun most days, though it can get so cold as to be indescribable at times. December is dedicated to Christmas, when Greeks make traditional sweets like melomakarona and kourambiedes. Families decorate trees and put presents underneath, with Santa visiting on December 31st to bring gifts to children. On Christmas Eve, children go house to house singing carols in exchange for money or sweets, and New Year's Eve features eating vasilopita cake which has a coin inside for luck in the new year. Christmas is a time of love, family, good moods, and festivity in Greece during December.
