"Thank you Kolkotronis. And to you and yours (In January, right?)"

Nope, December 25 among the Greeks is the same day as it is among the Americans. Its the Slavs who are calendar challenged. :)

Gotcha. I knew Russian Orthodox celebrated in January, but I thought some Greeks wouldn't go for the Julian Calendar. Thanks for the clarification.

Funny, considering that being "calendar challeneged" was good for the Orthodox Church for the past 1980 years (and still is for 85% of all Orthodox in this world), and that it was a heretical Greek Ecumencial Patriarch who, among other things, in 1923, unilaterally recognized Anglican communion and uniaterally proclaimed Orthodox-Anglican "union!"

Thank God for keeping us Calendar "challeneged!"
