Here in Greece we celebrate except for our
birthday also our name day . Especially during
the holidays of Christmas there are a lot of
names that celebrate. Like John ,Joanna (in our
language Ioannis ,Ioanna) Theofanis ,Theofania,
Stefanos, Stefania, Manolis , Chris (Christos)
,Christina, Theofilos, Theoni, e.t.c We celebrate
our name day, by going to the church to honor the
saint, whose name is being given to him/her.
After that we visit the person who celebrates and
gives him/her presents and sweets.

At Christmas we also do a small celebration at
school where we sing Christmas songs and we see
a Christmas film like Jesus born . Another
thing that we sometimes do at Christmas at school
is to decorate our classrooms with Christmas
decorations like stars and a small tree e.t.c.
This year, the C class of our school has
prepared a special event. (we will send you
pictures and videos).
