What does it take — and how should we prepare — to sing Christmas carols with our circle of friends for the people we love?
What frame of mind should we be in, what should we wear, which instruments should we bring, and how do carols change as they are sung in the village, on the island, or in the city — in Crete, Kasos, the Peloponnese, Athens, Kefalonia, Chios, Kastoria, Xanthi, and Cyprus?
This special Christmas Day episode offers a unique radio journey across Greece, guided by the customs and carols of the Twelve Days of Christmas, in the company of Konstantina Tassopoulou, author of the book To Sing the Carols.
Through stories, traditions, and regional variations, the program explores the spirit, etiquette, and living ritual of carol-singing — as an act of togetherness, memory, and shared joy.
Produced and presented by Antonis Karagiannakis
