What a shame you didn't go to Greece...it sounds like so much fun.<br /><br />Christmas is totally overdone nowadays and the origin is almost lost in comsumerism, more's the pity.<br /><br />I hope 2010 brings your hopes and dreams to fruition.Puss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32664912.post-72626043359383992192010-01-04T14:31:16.323+00:002010-01-04T14:31:16.323+00:00Bah humbug!!!! weren't you impressed by the Lo...Bah humbug!!!! weren't you impressed by the London fireworks ;) OK, they don't 'quite' compare to your Greek photos!?

How I miss those days!<br /><br />As for the tree, way to go! If I were you, I'd make a vasilopita to cut on the very last day too :-)Tinsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117009077032779594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32664912.post-47469187536621810572010-01-01T20:25:27.626+00:002010-01-01T20:25:27.626+00:00Wow, that's some tasteful decorations!

Maybe at some point we'll also manage to spend the holidays in Greece and see some of it. <br /><br />Further on, I agree with everything you're writing. If you think that consumerism is big in England, you should see how it's going over here. It's bad. The funniest thing is when I hear people take pride in the fact that they're done with Xmas shopping some time mid-September. Kudos to them, I guess, but what is Xmas shopping w'out going out to decorated streets and shops and feel the season?<br /><br />Btw, my tree will not go down before Jan. 30 - the last day that someone can "cut a vasilopita" ;)Margaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246072228584026535noreply@blogger.com
