Christmas:A Time for the Absolute Affrmation to True Life!
In spite of all abominations committed against humankind and despite all animosity and disasters funnelled down the throat.
Now, Christmas time, is theTime for the Absolute Affirmation and Acceptance of True Life, True Human Values and Eternal, Inexhaustible Wealth, bestowed on Humanity by birth !
The Christmas Carols are popular, well wishing and honouring-praising their addressees songs, announcing the good news of the birth of Jesus from house to house and from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. Groups of children or adults with musical instruments sing the joyful, blissful, jubilant, merry Event of peace and love coming to the World!
... The main traditional musical instruments that accompany the carols are the triangle, the lute, the tabor, the bagpipe(since the 1st-2nd century A.D. in Macedonia and Thrace), the sackbuts, the flute...
Enjoy if you will the Cretan Christmas Carols below!
( Due to the richness of life and soul expressions here in this part of the world, as in every other part of the Globe too, each area has its own 'more private' cultural traditions, way of living, according to the economo-geo-climato-social qualities of the era and the area... True multiculturalism to be honoured, cherished and communicated! Nothing to do with the so unfortunate, dollar-euro malicious soupy-antifa/military-industrialist Complex paid fake, false and phony sub-human reactions....)
Best Christmas Wishes to All!
May Humanity live eternally and flourish eternally in Love and Harmony!

"...Τα Κάλαντα αποτελούν δημοτικά ευχητικά και εγκωμιαστικά τραγούδια που ψάλλονται εθιμικά κατ΄ έτος κυρίως την παραμονή μεγάλων θρησκευτικών εορτών όπως των Χριστουγέννων, της Πρωτοχρονιάς (Αγ. Βασιλείου), των Θεοφανείων, ακόμη και των Βαΐων (ή του Λαζάρου), με εξαίρεση εκείνων της Μεγάλης Παρασκευής που είναι κατανυκτικά. Κύρια παραδοσιακά μουσικά όργανα που συνοδεύουν τα κάλαντα είναι το τρίγωνο, το λαούτο, το νταούλι η τσαμπούνα, η φλογέρα κ.ά.
Οι τραγουδιστές - οργανοπαίκτες των καλάντων ονομάζονται "καλαντιστές".
Ιστορία
Τα κάλαντα που προήλθαν από τις Βυζαντινές Καλένδες ανάγονται, κατά τύπο και όχι βεβαίως κατά περιεχόμενο, από το γνωστό έθιμο των αρχαίων Ελλήνων της Ειρεσιώνης...."
