Christmas Tree or...
...or Christmas Ship?
Every December, Greece’s second city, Thessaloniki, erects a huge, illuminated metal structure in the shape of a ship next to the Christmas tree in its main Aristotelous Square.
The ship is viewed as a quintessential Greek symbol. Greeks have been seafarers for thousands of years and the country is today one of the world’s mightiest shipping nations. On the islands, children sang Christmas carols holding illuminated model boats in their laps.
I like it so much!
Most of the time, during Christmas, i was listening to some Chet Baker's recordings, a 3CD box-set, the Pacific Jazz years.
But the song that i'm whistling all the time is :
"Gee, if i could only have my two front teeth,
then i could wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! "
All i want for Christmas is my two front teeth
