Jayho, you rock!
Mariethe, thank you for giving us the chance, once again, to wake our inner children up!
Well, a white Christmas in Greece is a rare thing, but I �ll tell you about a year I remember...
I was 15 or 16, and on Christmas Eve we were getting ready to visit relatives and spend the evening at their house (typical in Greece) when I noticed my younger brother (only 4 at the time) crying and saying he wouldn �t leane the house. When we demanded to know why he was being so stubborn, he said: "If we �re not here, Santa will see that the lights are off and he �ll go away!" Well, needless to say, we had to drag him out of the house before my mother put his present under the tree. I remember him jumping up and down at 3 am when we came back, and that sparkle in his eyes...
It was the last time he thought Santa existed, and I guess that �s what always made Christmas special, having children around, because they �re the ones who make you believe everything is possible.
Now my brother is 17 and he �s joking about how Santa Claus can �t make it around the globe even if he broke every law in Physics...you see what I mean?
Many wishes to everyone, may the new year enable you to make all your dreams come true!
