...or Jan. 6 among the Orthodox...

Actually, the Old Calendar Orthodox celebrate the Nativity of Christ on January 7th. This is hardly the first time that I've encountered someone who confused the Western Epiphany (also known as Three Kings' Day or 'Little Christmas') with the Orthodox celebration a day later.

Heck, it took me 5 years to convince my mother-in-law who kept calling to wish me "Merry European Christmas!" on Jan 6!

Ping to you too!

Well I was surprised he actually knew about us and mentioned it at all.
We're old calendar too. And currently running out of fasting ideas for meals....send some if you have them.

Happy Nativity Season to all.

We always leave our tree up until what we call Russian Christmas.

I cannot imagine a political commentator more irrelevant than Charley Reese.

Well, truth be told Old Calendar Orthodox celebrate on Dec. 25 on the Julian calendar which now happens to fall on Jan. 7 on the secular calendar (and Latin Christian calendar). If the Lord tarries and the Orthodox don't manage to have a Great Council with reforms the calendar, in a century, Dec. 25 OS will be Jan. 8 on the secular calendar. (I'm rooting for all of us going back to the Old Calendar, unless the Coptic proposal on the Paschalion gains support the support of the Russian Church and all of the ancient Patriarchates)
