Not gonna work. Christmas is never confused with January.

Now now. It just ocurred to me what the logical explanation is.

You see, the Kerry family had long had a quirky tradition, (but being reticent, it was not common knowledge), of celebrating Christmas exactly one month later than everybody else! Kerry simply forgot to mention this detail and when he said "Christmas" in his head he was thinking of the family observance of *January 25*.

This would work, too, since Nixon would have been sworn in just 5 days prior--well 4, since Kerry actually said Christmas EVE...

Just one problem there .. Kerry was in Siagon around that time

January 22, 1969 – Kerry and other Swift boat commanders travel to Saigon for meeting with Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, Commander Naval Forces Vietnam (COMNAVFORV), and Gen. Creighton Abrams, Commander United States Military Assistance Command Vietnam (COMUSMACV).

Not good enough. He didn't take over the -94 boat until the 29th, that according to the man he took it over from.

This is not quite accurate...

Kerry's family, being so much more advanced than the rest of us peasants, actually celebrate thier Christmas eleven months earlier than everyone else.
