CHRISTMAS IN GREECE

AT CHRISTMAS, THE MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY ALL GATHER AT ONE HOUSE AND
ALL BRING A PIECE OF FRUIT. THEN ALL PUT THEIR FRUIT ON ONE TREE.

Down in the valley

Down int the valley where the green grass grows,

There sat Debbie as preetty as a Rose,

She sang, she  sang so sweet.

Along came Paul and kissed her on the cheek.
