Maligayang Pasko, Downs! Although, it's already the 26th here in the Philippines.

One of my favourite Christmas songs is actually by Dave Matthews. It's not very Orthodox, but it's beautiful and sad. Like this stanza, towards the end:
Father up above, why in all this hatred, Do you fill us up with love, love, love? ... And the blood of our children all around. And, of course, there's the Ukrainian Bell Carol, which is actually called Schedrik, Schedrik in the original, and has to do with a swallow flying in to a house and predicting a prosperous year for the family. It's a very haunting tune, for a happy, happy song.

Merry Christmas for yesterday, and Happy Boxing Day.
Or, since I'm learning Russian: S Rozhdestvom!

Merry Christmas! I've just been informed that it is actually still Christmas - the second day of it - so I'm actually not late at all.
