Ukrainian Christmas has been on my mind all day. Last night, Svyat Vechir or Holy Eve was the day of fasting in memory of the hardships of Mary and Joseph on their journey to Bethlehem. When I was growing up we would celebrate the "old calendar" Christmas with distant relatives on this day (and I was always able to miss school!)
Tonight was a night of celebration. Merry Christmas. I didn't miss school today but instead, got together with some dear friends and celebrated. You'll hear more about them in the days to come but for now, just know that I am blessed to have such good friends and fun times. Even Rocko was invited.
