    Default Merry Christmas!!

    3 1/2 more days until Santa comes to town! I want to wish everyone here a truly Merry Christmas, to all of you and your loved ones. Spend some time around the fire with loved ones. In the Christmas spirit, I will also say Happy Holidays to those here that don't celebrate Christmas.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    My congratulations with all my best wishes to everyone with no exclusions, Americans! Peace to your Home and houses!
    And now, all together! (Russian kid song d.d. 1903 the immortal song since that time in Russia over all the decades of the previous Century)



    There was a Fir-Tree born in woods,
    And there she was grown,
    In winter and in summer both
    The grace and green she was

    The Snowstorm sang a song for her:
    «Sleep, Firry, sleep tight-tight»
    The Frost was covering with snow:
    “Don't freeze in such cold night”

    A yellow-bellied Bunny there
    Was leaping under fir
    From time to time an angry Wolf
    Was running over near

    The snow around the thicky woods
    Is creaking under skid
    A shaggy Gee-Gee frisks ahead
    In greatest rush indeed

    The Gee-Gee's carrying firewoods
    On them there is a Man
    He chopped down our little Fir
    At the very rootlet

    And now in gallant here she is
    On feast to us she came
    And many many joyances
    All little kids she gave

    Merry Christmas everyone.
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I have never used the term 'Happy Holidays' in relation to Christmas and never will.

    Happy Hanukkah to any of the Hebrew Faith who may be here,

    and Merry Christmas to All!

    Merry Christmas All

    Several years ago, I went to a Christmas Concert put on by Neil Diamond. It was magnificent.

    But He being Jewish, mentioned he had far more Christian friends, but did do a Hava Naglia
    for his religion. He was a cantor growing up.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Americans!



    As I am not able to give you traditional Russian dishes: sturgeon, Black Caviar and Vodka to your Christmas table, please find below 3 Russian cartoons in English for your children. The series "Buttermilk".
