It has always been celebrated in the U.S. IM. There have been Russian, and other peoples of the Orthodox Church in this country since 1888.

Happy 4th anniversary Eulalia, I would hate to imagine the forums without you.
Cheers

Apart from those who organise church calendars
(and they of course disagree with each other),
I don't think there's any right or wrong about it.

Count your smiles instead of your tears.
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full times instead of your lean.
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

You mean that it is not youOr points
...Sir Wragg told me that he took this picture of you
...and I stand corrected, you do have fine "points".
You mean that it is not you
It's me if you want it to be...
Okay it's Russian Christmas and it seems no one came...
I got a picture together hope you don't mind the change of pace and that you enjoy...
Also I remembered a joke:
How the Angel got on top of the Christmas tree.
While life at the North Pole is joyous, the responsibility of assuring that good girls and boys receive their Christmas gifts is an important matter. Santa and his elves almost always keep their good humor and work happily until that special night when he takes flight to deliver Christmas gifts all over the world. There was one Christmas; it all started with the elves catching the flu, then of course production went down to zero and Santa knew that there was only one thing that could be done and the angels came down to help.
A training curve was involved, instead of choir practice the angels had to work with tools, paint and wrapping gifts so it took time for production to return to normal so by the time the big night came Santa’s nerves were a little frayed. Then finally when the sled was loaded someone discovered that one of the runners was broken and there was yet another delay while everything was transferred to the backup sled.
The reign deer were hitched up and ready to take flight when a little angle discovered that a Christmas tree had fallen out of the new sled and angel called:
“Santa… Santa what do you want me to do with this tree?”
Happy Russian Christmas
