Thessaloniki, Greece - 10th May 2009

By: vickyp

Hi all from Greece,

I have arrived in Greece a couple of days ago and met the family and other toy voyagers. Things have been crazy around here since they were christening their little boy today and they had lots of preparations and arrangements these days. Today was the day, everything went great and so here I am updating at last!

So take a look at me with Ladomar and Etwas helping Vicky to prepare the christening favors.

In Greece it is a custom to give a little toy to all the guests together with "koufeta". Koufeto is an almond with chocolate and sugar coating and they always give those on weddings and christenings.

Also before the christening when the guests arrive at church it is also a custom to give them a little pin with a small cross. In our case instead of pins they gave little bracelets
