http://www.euronews.net/ Greece is in the fourth year of recession and in Athens temporary centres have been at full stretch trying to bring some Christmas cheer to the poor and homeless.

Dozen of people came to pick up packaged meals, some taking them home, while others stayed to enjoy the music and a little company.

"Unfortunately we have no economic support so that's why we come here," said Dimitra, who came with her mother, and eventually took to the stage for some traditional Greek dances.
