As part of the Christmas charity bazaar of the Mandoulides Schools, the book “Be Santa Claus” by Ioannis Glossopoulos (Dioptra Publications) was presented, with the participation of the first-grade students. The event highlighted, in the most tender and authentic way, the true message of Christmas: love, giving, cooperation, and the joy of offering.
Through carols from all over Greece, songs, rhymed verses, and interactive activities, the children took the audience on a journey into a Christmas story that did not focus on gifts and sparkle, but on the warmth of the heart and the importance of solidarity. The narration culminated in the message that Santa Claus is not just a person, but a way of life. It is the joy of offering love, standing by one another, and sharing what we have.
The presentation was a celebration of emotions and values, reminding everyone present that the magic of Christmas becomes real when we see it through the eyes of children. It was an experience that touched both young and old and reminded us of the true meaning of the holidays.
