Christmas Day in Greece

December 2021


Christmas day is a very special day. In the morning we go to church because at Christmas we celebrate the birth of Christ. It’s a religious celebration.


Then we prepare the Christmas meal. The main dish is usually roast turkey or roast pork. We also eat a special bread called “Christ’s bread”.


For dessert we have “kourambiedes” and “melomakarona”. They are traditional Christmas sweets


At lunchtime the whole family and relatives share this special meal. The room is beautifully decorated with ornaments and a Christmas tree and we play Christmas music.


In the evening we usually visit friends or relatives whose name is Christos or Christina. In Greece we celebrate namedays! We may also go out for a walk. Patra is always beautifully decorated!
