CHRISTMAS IN GREECE

The people in Greece don't celebrate the christmas as we do here. They don't have our "three wise kings"  but  they have Santa Claus , and Saint Nicholas .

In the end of the year they don't eat the 12 grapes , but they go to celebrated in the street ,as we do here. Each Greek house prepares, cookies, cakes, puddings and special cakes for Christmas.

Greece is today homogeneous in linguistic terms with a large majority of the native population using Greek as their first or only language.( Greek is today spoken as the dominant language throughout the country )
