The Lucky Cake give-a-way!!

It is so heartwarming to see Greek Americans produce books and materials to teach children in the diaspora about our wonderful Greek traditions. I was blessed to get in contact with Anna Prokos not too long ago, a great children's author out of New Jersey. Anna has just produced a book about the Vasilopita tradition and about St. Basil. Her book is called the Lucky Cake and it is available in both Greek and English

(How lucky are we?!).

Mrs. Prokos has generously offered a book to be given away on my blog. So, this is your chance to be one of the fist to have a copy of The Lucky Cake. Please a post a comment to be eligible for the drawing that will take place a week from today, December 11th.

Merry Madagascar in Greek

η ημέρα των Ευχαριστιών

Την τελευταία Πέμπτη του Νοεμβρίου, κάθε χρόνο, γιορτάζουμε στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες την ημέρα των Ευχαριστιών. Μαζευόμαστε στα σπίτια μας με συγγενείς και με φίλους να ευχαριστήσουμε τον Θεό για όλα τα καλά που μας δίνει.

Thank you to all the Kindergarten bloggers from Greece for the wonderful ideas for OXI Day. What a blessing to be able to share resources and ideas across the world to benefit our children.

For more OXI Day ideas, take a look at my favorite blog list to see what teachers in Greece are doing to teach the new generation about Greece's heroism and role in

World War II.
