Following the narratives received from the “Big Brother”, the Greek Foreign Ministry decided not to mention the word “Christmas” in its congratulations on the religious holiday of Christmas. This caused a flurry of criticism on Twitter.
In its message, the Greek Foreign Ministry “forgot” to write the word Christmas and not by chance, of course. Instead, he speaks in general and vague terms about “happy and safe (!) holidays” and a happy new year.

It is not known exactly what “holidays” he is talking about, unless he is referring to Christmas, which he defiantly ignores. About the birth of Jesus Christ, of course, not a word.

The only thing missing here is the foreign minister’s favorite phrase: “International law.” Maybe they should add that too. “Happy and safe holidays under international law.” But let’s not give ideas for next year.
However, the above should not be taken lightly or derisively. On the contrary, this is a very serious symptom of super-tolerant trends imposed from overseas, which are actively introduced into Greek society by neo-liberals from the Democratic Party.
Such seemingly “innocent” phenomena will increase exponentially in the future as we find ourselves in new situations that we all feared, but, unfortunately, turn into reality.
Using the Overton Window method, they lower the bar of our perception to a level that a few years ago seemed incredible and shameful. From the beginning there was parent 1 and parent 2, then the legalization of gay marriages, and now the mention of Christ has become intolerant. What’s next?
Συγνώμη παιδιά είμαστε ορθόδοξο έθνος τα Χριστούγεννα γιορτάζουμε.
Είναι ντροπή αυτό που ανεβάσατε— Dimitris Georgoulas (@DimGeoCV) December 24, 2022
Sorry guys, we are an Orthodox nation, we celebrate Christmas. I’m ashamed that you posted this.
Ο ελληνικός λαός πάντως σας εύχεται καλά χριστούγενα κύριοι, αυτό δε μπορείτε εσείς σκοπίμως
Κατά τα υπόλοιπα καλές γιορτές και καλές κάλπες.— Georges (@Euresthenes) December 24, 2022
However, the Greek people wish you, gentlemen, a Merry Christmas, which you deliberately do not wish to express. Otherwise, happy holidays and “successful” elections.
Καλά Χριστούγεννα στους απανταχού τω κοσμώ Έλληνες – έχουμε καταλάβει καλά περί τίνων τυρβαζετε και ουδεμία σχέση έχετε με την σιωπηρή πλειοψηφία που σας έχει σιχαθεί όσο δεν πάει – χρονιάρες μέρες

Merry Christmas to Greeks all over the world – we understand well what you are talking about and you have nothing to do with the silent majority who hate you as much as possible – for many years.
Ούτε η πιο “woke” πολυεθνική εταιρεία δεν θα έστελνε τέτοιες ευχές ρε γελοίοι! Τα Χριστούγεννα γιορτάζονται και Καλά Χριστούγεννα εύχεται ο κόσμος! Τραγικοί!

Even the most “stoned” multinational company would not send such wishes, clowns! Christmas is celebrated and people wish you a Merry Christmas!
Καλά Χριστούγεννα (λέμε) και καλή πρωτοχρονιά… Και εφαρμόστε επιτέλους το Διεθνές Δίκαιο κύριε Δένδια … μην μας δουλεύεται ….. επεκτείνεται στα 12 μίλια τέλος πάντων …. Αλλιώς εξυπηρετείτε τους Τούρκους όχι εμάς τους Έλληνες

Merry Christmas (we say) and Happy New Year… And finally apply international law Mr. Dendias… doesn’t work for us….. it extends to 12 miles anyway…. Otherwise you serve the Turks and not us Greeks.
