What is the main symbol season in most Greece homes?

Answer 1

According to Santa's net-Greek Christmas, the main symbol of the season in Greek homes is a shallow wooden bowl with a wire across the top, on which rests a sprig of basil wrapped around a wooden cross dangling in Holy Water. The basil is dipped in the Holy Water once daily and sprinkled in each room of the house to ward off kallikantzeri or mischievous goblins that appear during the 12 days of Christmas.

But the site also claims that an evergreen is decorated with tinsel and a star on top in most Greek homes, and baking baklava is another tradition.

The Christopsomo (Christmas bread) is sometimes decorated with pieces of dough formed into representations of the family's life (boats, farm animals, olive trees or what have you...). Often it remains undecorated. Easter bread, on the other hand, is symbolically decorated with red eggs, and New Year's bread is decorated with the number of the new year spelled out in almonds and cloves.
