Day 115. Christmas Running

#ChristmasinVilnius

#VilniusandSports

Christmas Season in Vilnius is full of different festive events, one of which is Christmas Running.

I suppose that it usually takes place on the 3rd Sunday of the Advent.

This year (2019) ir was the 44th running. At the begining thsi running used to be a New Year Running and after 1990 it became Christmas Running.

It has motto: It's cold in winter, it's warm to run!

So if if you love running, it's a perfect event for you!

Day 112. BC Rytas Vilnius game in EuroCup @Siemens Arena

#VilniusandSports

#VilniusandBasketball

All who have visited Vilnius at least once know that a home basketball team of Vilnius is Rytas Vilnius.

Rytas plays not only in our Lithuanian national prime league LKL,  but also in FIBA  EuroCup.

All EuroCup games take place in Siemens Arena.

Yesterday, on December 10,  2019, Rytas had a very important game against Turkish team Tofas Bursa. By winning the game qualified to Eurocup Top16.

The odd fact about me is that I am an old fan of Žalgiris since 1998. But I really really recommend to attend EuroCup games of Rytas and to be with them.

Cause we stand for strong Lithuanian basketball in international competitions! We stand for Lithuanisn basketball!

On January 08, 2020 Rytas plays already in TOP16 with Unics Kazan @Siemens arena in one of 4 groups.

Day 109. Christmas in Vilnius. Meeting Santa


Vilnius Christmas Tree is lightened already! It was lightened 1 week ago.

And usually next Saturday after the Lightening all children in Vilnius can meet Santa at the Cathedral Square near the the Christmas Tree.

Lithuanian Santa is called Senelis Kalėda, and as all social people he has a profile on social networks, you can find  Senelis Kalėda on Facebook here. 

I have no idea where he lives  and where he comes from to Vilnius but I don't know why I think that he lives somewhere near Pakruojis, maybe because I think he visits  Pakruojis Manor sometimes.
