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 hope I see something like this when I get up Christmas morning! (and a Steelers win later in the day)

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!
I Our Lord's Grace.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16

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".
