Dear Mr. Katseto.

These hymns and carols reminded me how we have forgotten what Christmas is about. 

I am not a traditionalist Christian or Greek, but these Byzantine, be it Greek, Arabic or Slavonic hymns, remind us of our roots and an era when our ancestors believed in something that is now replaced by mass consumption, superficiality and lack of spiritual contemplation. Of course that didn’t stop them from slaughtering each other...

To the traditionalists, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the others. 

George Gedeon
