Thanks RT! Great suggestion. Enough of the expensive gifts, shopping madness, the stressed out crowds, out-of-control parties, I think I'll go out and have a nice quiet dinner with my wife. Merry Christmas! "Russian Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7, and unlike the Catholic holiday, it remains more of a family feast with strong religious meaning."
