In Greece, Christmas is celebrated on December 24th with traditions like children going door-to-door singing carols and poems about the holiday in exchange for fruits and cookies. Unlike other places, Greeks do not have Christmas trees but instead make wooden sailboat models to hang ornaments on. Gifts are given on New Year's Day by Saint Basil instead of Santa Claus, and the day is marked by a special bread called vassilopita.

3. How is Christmas celebrated in
Greece?
As a Christian Orthodox country by majority, Greece is a place
where Christmas is celebrated in large and without qualms.
Their customs are part of centuries-old traditions that are
revived every year in the heat of the celebrations for the birth
of Jesus. Next, we will know some of the interesting
distinctive elements of Christmas Greece.

4. Traditions
On December 24, the day of Christmas Eve, all children wake
up in the morning ready and excited to start a special
day.House by house they take their calandas, songs and
poems that allude to the Festivities, and they are
accompanied with the sound of trigonas, a triangle of steel
that is tinkled with the help of a wand of the same material. In
the homes, they receive them with fruits and typical desserts
known as kourabiédes, very popular sugary cookies.

5. Characteristics
●Unlike the known in many countries, the Greeks do not have
Christmas trees. In compensation, an amazing wooden model
is made in the shape of sailboats and there hang the
traditional balls that we all come in the snowy pines. Another
difference is that nothing has to do with Christmas with Santa
Claus, and therefore no gifts are distribute.
●It is only on January 1 that the gifts arrive, but it is with San
Basilio. The first day of the year, lunch is closed with a
vassilopita, a special type of bread made with lemon peel and
butter, which is creamy and with a delicious citrus aroma
