Christmas decorations

A very popular activity on the occasion of the winter holidays is the handmade decorations with a little imagination and talent.
These are not only a way to have a home decorated in a unique way, but also an opportunity to have a pleasant family activity on a background of carols, while the aroma of freshly baked cookies attracts us with little great around the same table.
 Going on the premise of a family Christmas (in our case the family is the school) with unique decorations made in groups, we made in the creative workshop various ornaments with which we decorated our classes, and some of them were used in at the Christmas Fair. From the money obtained, gifts were bought that will be offered to families with material difficulties, thus bringing them a ray of hope and joy in their souls.

There is the simple carolling, which involves only people singing, and there are special carols, which include dancing and more complex performances. The latter are usually to be found in villages, but you might see some street performances in cities as well.               A special carol is called Capra (the Goat).
