yllektraToday it was my name day! Isn't that Great?
Actually i don't know if other nations celebrate that! But Greek Orthodox people do!
So we get twice the presents!
To explain this let's start with this. My real name is Kalliopi (but everyone calls me Kelly for short).
Kalliopi or Calliope was a muse in Ancient Greek mythology and of course a saint in our religion (I am an orthodox).So when we celebrate a saint and we have his/her name we celebrate too!
Do you have that too?
I must admit that i had a good day.I got some candy and sweets for my colleagues and we had fun. Then i worked-i couldn't do otherwise! lol but they made me a present!
I was touched i wasn't expecting that because they don't usually buy presents for each other in the office!
Anyways,hope everyone does great!
