To all of you who are wondering why my Christmas card's Russian entry only says Happy New Year, instead of Merry Christmas, it's like this because Christian orthodoxy celebrates Christmas on January 7th, instead of December 25th. Also, their version of our Christmas tree, called New Year's Pine, is related to the New Year's festivities instead of Christmas.
But aside from all that, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very good night!
