A na Syntagmi, gdje nema radosti uprkos tome što su se djeca potrudila najbolje što mogu da nadomjeste to što vlada nije obezbijedila ukrase preko puta parlamenta, jedan Djed-mraz očerupan je na pozornici u blizini oronule, ustajale fontane koja predstavlja srce grada.
Back in Syntagma, devoid of bliss despite the best efforts of children to compensate for the government's failure to provide decorations across the street from parliament, a Santa was plunked down on a stage next to the decrepit, stagnant fountain that is the city's centrepiece.
