If you're Middle Eastern, or any sort of Orthodox or other eastern Christian, and/or ecumenical and believe you can never have too many Christmases, a Happy Orthodox/Eastern Christmas to you today. The Julian calendar having now diverged from the Gregorian by 13 days, it's rather neat: just as Western Christians are celebrating 12th Night/Epiphany/Three Kings Day and the 12 Drummers are drumming on January 6, suddenly it's Christmas Eve in the old calendar and we get to start the whole process again.
But then many Armenians celebrate on the Julian Three Kings Day, so we've still got one to go.
So Merry Christmas, Part Two.
