Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January. On the 6th of January we have the holy eve before Christmas when you have to forgive and to give kindness to the world.
So what we usually do on our holy day in Ukraine?
-
waking up with a wonderful mood, forgive and be thankful
-
Singing Christmas carols
-
going to church
-
visiting family and friends
-
have family gathering while holiday breakfast and sharing traditional dish for Christmas – “Kutia”
-
feeling Christmas wonder in the air
-
speeading the love and happiness into the air
-
making a wish and pray for good things to happen

Just a thought….Do Ukrainians understand & speak good English? I have an impression that Ukraine has strong Russian influence owing to many years in Soviet rule!
