For quite a few years I had seen on
A sailing boat all lit up for Christmas.
Apparently it’s tradition amongst the island Greeks to do this.
Since half my family comes from a Greek island I had always wanted to do the same. Unfortunately there are not many sailboats for sale in the shops.
I looked and couldn’t find anything. Then I’d forget all about it until the next time L posted the picture
This year I jumped onto Temu and found one I liked and which didn’t cost the same as a real sail boat
I spent about 15 minutes gluing the lights on
I hope it passes muster
Better Late than never I say.
Thank you L for the inspiration
That's really unusual and so pretty. I once went to a night-time parade of canal boats, which were all lit up with lanterns and fairy lights. Of course the lights were reflected in the water too. It was unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteThat would be spectacular.
DeleteFantastic!! Lighted boats are in high fashion here this season. There are 5 of them in different places in the main town. One of them is a kaiki, fishing boat, tied up to the wharf.
DeleteKalo Christouyenna!!
Love the lighthouse too. Now I have to find one of those
I’m sure you’ll be able to find one somewhere on the island.
DeleteMerry Christmas to all your family
Perfect! Your Greek ancestors are smiling!
