It is impossible in England to pass through the next couple of weeks without hearing Christmas carols. (I don't know if it's the same in USA, Canada, Aus.) I like them, and though I know Orthodox Christians should not attend the services of schismatics and heretics, I feel that I want to go to a Christmas carol service. My brother-in-law arrives from Moscow on 23 December, and as we drive from Heathrow to Essex, we pass St Paul's Cathedral where there will be a carol concert at 4pm. We plan to take in this carol concert on our way back to Essex. It seems to me also that my wife and her brother will thereby take in something of the culture of England. Does anyone think I'm wrong?

What would Christmas be without Christmas carols. Here in Greece we have our traditional Christmas carols - sung by children who come to our doors to be thanked with sweets and fruits (although some of them are hoping only for money).... we also have christmas carols that have been translated into Greek from German and English. They all extoll the wonder of Christ's birth.
