Thanks for Merry Christmas. I live in russian federation which has 100 years of atheism (after anti-Czar 'revolution'). So ppl here respect New Year but pay small attention to Christmas, sad!

Merry Christmas to Everyone Here

I live in russian federation which has 100 years of atheism (after anti-Czar 'revolution'). So ppl here respect New Year but pay small attention to Christmas, sad!

Also sad is that Christmas is originally a pagan tradition which was conveniently usurped by religion.... and these are the people who preach honesty and are usually prone to deliver a guilt trip to others.... hmmm... great example 

Anyway, any day is a good day to wish others have a wonderful day, including Christmas, therefore have a merry Christmas, hope you have a wonderful day regardless of religious beliefs (if any at all.)

Hopefully Ukraine won't be bombed today.  It would be nice for them to have  a nice day too (for a change.)

Regardless, Merry Christmas to you and to everyone!

I believe in Russia it is celebrated in 7-th of Jan according to the Julian calendar. Are you really not celebrating? Here in BG it was also quiet before, there were no days off and people celebrated at home. But now it's complete shopping frenzy.

In that case I'd point out that even though there might be historical discrepancies between our calendars, Russia and the USSR have long accepted the principle of using timezones relative to UTC.

And the 25th December is one of the days on which the Equation of Time- the discrepancy between UTC and Solar Time- is zero.

So even if different cultures and different subcultures justify a day of celebration using different arguments, let's enjoy it.

Thanks all. I must correct myself about '100 years of atheism'. Not 100 but 1991-1917 = about 70 years. After 1991 we have Eltsin's time and Pu's time. These times are somewhat filled with Christianity, but still russian federation has church separated from the state (like in USSR). Pu is walking to the Christ church and to the sinagoga (he fires sinagoga's candles there) at the same time, so it is not full rise of the Christianity.

Hi,
I don't care of Atheism, Pagan or Christianity,

Just take a good time with your peoples.

Merry Christmas To all the nice users of this great forum.
