As you can see from the accompanying pictures, our house is still decorated for Christmas. Today Ukranians, Russians, members of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and other Slavic people are celebrating the holiday.
The date has to do with the switch in 1582 from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. Although some bloggers and posters would post a long learned research paper about this, I leave it to any reader who cares to look up more information.
For me this is just another reason to keep the holiday lights burning.
