The blessing wishes of Greek Christmas Carols ‘kalanta’

 The blessing wishes of Greek Christmas Carols ‘kalanta’

The day before ‘Christmas day’, is very special for young children. 

They keep triangles in hand and visit households or shops saying ‘Na ta poume’? (shall we sing?)🧒👧

For those who play a musical instrument, they sing the Christmas Carols with a guitar, harmonica, or even accordion. 🎸

Once the carols are over, they wish homeowners prosperity, health, and happiness. In return for the blessing wishes, the lady of the house or the shopowner treats children to melomakarona,🍪🍬💲 kourampiedes, and a small amount of money.

At the end of their visits to houses or shops, children share the money they gathered and buy toys 💓😊 for themselves and gifts for their parents.💄💍💐👛✐

The song of Greek Christmas Carols is the Greek version of ‘Jingle Bells’.

Thanks for reading our post!🎄🎅🤶
