Kalikantzeri

In Greece, kalikantzeri are goblins that appear from the earth during the 12 days of Christmas. They're known to engage in mischievous behavior during this time. Honestly, I didn't know anything about "kalikantzerakia" until this year when our children came home and excitedly told us that they'd perform as the goblins during their school Christmas program this year.



The little kalikantzerakia causing trouble!

The lights were low and the costumes and the background were glowing.




Both of my goblins tossing confetti simultaneously.

They had a great time performing with their friends and the program was adorable!

  4. Thank you Cheryl, yes, Julie has just bought all this gear.
    We saw them beating the trees in Spain. We have 6 other trees that we'll be picking after xmas and they will be hit... good for you to get the stress and tension out.
    Your kids look like they're enjoying themselves!!
    Have a brilliant time
    Peaceand happiness
