A Christmas Tale part1 24 December 1978 The air was raging and the cold became colder, while my father came into our house bringing with him some chumps for the fireside. “It is going to snow” he said. We sat for a while and discussed the next day tasks, as we were waiting kin from the city to visit us. It would have been Christmas and my mother wanted to be all ide-al. After two hours the sky darkened, the wind stopped to yelling and the first snow-flakes became to fall and until the time, we went for sleeping, there was a plenty of snow outside overlay the trees and the yard. “Let’s get sleep.” said my mom. But I had no intention to sleep. I went in my room, took my blanket, sat and I started to stare at the snow from my frozen and blurry window. I could see all the white field ·it was smooth and silent. Around midnight a yellow glow occurred far away from my home. I thought it would be a man holding a lantern, while he was going to his home, someone who had been delayed by the snow. I continued to watch the light and minutes later it started to get closer to my home, while a figure of a man begun to shape. Definitely he has lost his way I thought. The man was walking and now it seemed that he was heading to our house. I feared and I thought to go and wake up my father, but I stood still and keep watching the man, while steadily he was walking to our home. When he reached in a closer dis-tance I could discern the stranger. He was not wearing heavy clothes but a strange purple tunic with gold details around it. He must be crazy for sure, he is going to freeze I thought. The stranger man walked more steps and reached our yard, he opened the outdoor and came into. At that moment I frightened. Who was that stranger with the weird apparel? Now, I could clearly distinguish that he was a man with a beard and wearing a hat around his head. At that time, I was ready to run and woke up my parents, when the man raised his head turn into my window and he stared at me. My heart went to broke in thousands of pieces from the fear, but a moment later the man crumpled in the snow and stayed incumbent on the ground as he was dead.

A place that I like In an hour from my residence it is a city called Kastoria. The city of Kastoria nests amphitheatrically around a lake. You would say that it could be a little island and feel that way. The nature with the fauna is amazing. You can see swans and geese that are on your way and if you have a slice of bread you can even feed them and almost will grab it from your hand. The many years live in peace, among the people and them, made them not to afraid humans and survive peaceful alongside them. You can have a walk all around thee lake. In each season the natute is beautiful, in summers you can glance at the trees and general the greenery, in autumns all the place take magic colors when the leaves become yellow and orange and start to fall down. In winters the lake can froze if the temperatures drop down for many days. Long years ago some courageous people even take their walk on the ice. Spring can inebriate you with the scents of the reborn nature, while the breezy air fondle your sesnsations.
