Christmas trees are not commonly used in Greece. What is the main symbol of the season in most Greek homes?

In Greece, the main symbol of the Christmas season is the "karavaki," a small wooden or decorated boat. This reflects the country's strong maritime tradition and is often adorned with lights and ornaments. Families may also hang a boat from the ceiling, and it's common to see them displayed in homes, representing hope and prosperity for the coming year. The celebration of Christmas in Greece often emphasizes religious traditions and festive meals rather than the widespread use of Christmas trees.
