Another year has reached to the end. A fresh new year is coming. Let\u2019s hope this year will bring real peace, health and happiness all over the world!<\/p>\n
This post will be on the New Year\u2019s carols and the Christmas boat. There are so many customs relative to Christmas and the New Year’s arrival. In any city you may be for the Christmas period, you will experience something different.<\/p>\n
Identically to the Christmas carols the children start early in the New Year\u2019s Eve morning to sing the carols. If you have read my post on Christmas carols you already know everything. If you haven\u2019t, here is the link <\/a>for it.<\/p>\n Like with the Christmas carols, the New Year\u2019s carols differ in some cities. These are the common carols for the New Year.<\/p>\n

This is a Greek tradition that has been changed during the last 35-40 years. The Christmas tree has been imported in Greece as a foreign custom. However, many cities keep the tradition and decorate a boat instead of a tree in the central squares. For example in Thessaloniki (\u0398\u03b5\u03c3\u03c3\u03b1\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03ba\u03b7), the second biggest city in Greece, both Christmas tree and Christmas boat are decorated.<\/p>\n In older times before the arrival of the Christmas tree, children used to carry a small boat when they were singing the carols.<\/p>\n \n |
