Let’s Lighten Up!

---

Time to relax and chill out as we coast towards the end of the year. Here in Rethymnon the Christmas season is just so much more laid back than it is in Northern Europe (partly to do with the fact that it starts six months later!). And as we were going to press, the weather was outrageously gorgeous too!

Heartfelt thanks to everyone (including Jimbo –now finally you get credited!) who has contributed feedback, new ideas, photos and articles to the Bugle in the last twelve months. We can’t tell you just how much we have appreciated your support!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

December Highlights:

On our Spotlight Page we take a look at traditional Cretan Christmas customs. We have also put together a photo gallery of the Bugle year. Pink penguins are mentioned, as are bent bananas. All this plus news from around town, updates from local enterprises and details of community and charity events, and so much more!

About ‘The Bugle’

The Rethymnon Coffee Morning Bugle is an independent, monthly FREE publication that was started in January 2007 by the same team responsible for the www.rethymnon.biz website — Kate and Luc Brusten, who have been living and working in Rethymnon for a number of years. The Bugle is geared not only towards the international community living in Rethymnon, but also towards anyone who has an interest in the town. The aim of the publication is to be both informative and light hearted. We welcome feedback and written / photographic contributions from readers. We particularly welcome feature articles that have a Rethymnon slant; if you are considering submitting an article we would ask that you keep to an upper word limit of 500 words.

You will find our contact details and a listing of hard copy distribution outlets at the bottom of our This Month Page.

We hope you enjoy reading our December issue!
