There are fewer lights and signs of the holiday too, as the city and many of its inhabitants, as across Greece, can't afford Christmas and have taken to hunkering down instead of singing for joy, and merchants fear they will join the long list of more than 100,000 that have closed.
Tako je i manje lampica i simbola praznika, s obzirom da grad i njegovi stanovnici, kao i oni širom Grčke, ne mogu sebi da priušte Božić. Oni su se povukli u sebe i nisu raspevani kao nekada, a prodavci strahuju da će se pridružiti dugoj listi od preko 100.000 radnji koje su zatvorene.
