Greek capital Athens is officially in Christmas mood. Mayor Giorgos Kaminis lit the Christmas tree in Syntagma Square in the center of the city, at 7 o’ clock on December 12th 2017.

Sixteen meters long, more than 4,000 Christmas lights.

“Christmas and New Year days are days of joy, hope and optimism,” Mayor Kaminis said during the lighting event. He urged people to come to the downtown and enjoy themselves with the festive program sponsored by the Municipality, but also help those in need.

All through the Festive Days, Athens Municipality offers several events for young and old.

Kids from elementary school in Skopelos protesting the killings of cats and other animals by poisoning. Please spread this initiative to other sites and to friends in or outside Greece, as it is a horrible phenomenon of animal abuse, unfortunately seen in many places all over Greece.

Help find a better home for Sasha

This is Sasha. The cutest hamburger you’ll ever meet. 

We brought her home with the intention of keeping her but have found that she is not happy in our home. So we are trying to find her a home where she can be the happiest little kitty ever, much as we hate to see her go. She is currently located in Pittsburgh PA, though we are willing to travel somewhat to meet someone halfway if necessary. Ready for the big issue?

SHE NEEDS TO BE AN ONLY PET.

Unfortunately, Sasha does not get along with other animals. We have two other cats in our house as well as the occasional visiting dog and she has been scared and fighting with them since we introduced them a few weeks after she came home. But don’t be scared off.

SASHA LOVES HUMANS. 

She will cuddle in bed and happily play and be very sweet and loving as long as there aren’t other animals around. Now for the regular facts.

Sasha is about 5 years old and healthy and has been spayed. She is a little underweight at the moment, but we believe that is due to the stress of being around the other cats. 

Her hobbies include:

–Posing as the prim pretty little princess she is

–Sleeping on luggage to make sure her humans can never leave her

–Critiquing her humans’ work in the garden

–Viciously murdering string, flying insects, and bits of fluff

–Vigorously cuddling her humans in bed

–Lounging in her hamburger bun

–Getting stupidly excited over treats and occasionally running into walls as a result

–Offering Opinions to her humans

Sasha comes equipped with:

–Food, treats, and bowls

–Litter box and litter

–Cat carrier

–Collar 

–Her hamburger bun (that adorable covered bed in the first picture)

–A selection of toys as well as catnip

–Her favorite blanket

–Cat tree if desired (either disassembled or whole, however is easier to move)

–Cord protectors (yes, she has a weird habit of chewing cords, but it’s easy to deal with as long as you’re prepared)

If interested, please contact @alianneofpirateswoop 

Please spread the word. Thank you so much! –A very sad but loving cat mom

ah this will help me a lot

Fell in love with the Greek language during your holidays? Or are you simply trying to woo a Greek? Whatever the reason is, learning Greek may be a tough decision, but don’t worry we are here to help you out. For many students, learning a foreign language is easier with music. Indeed, the melody, rhythm and sometimes even rhymes help the memorization process. Here are some classics of Greek pop music to help you learn the language.
