You are so right about the Orthodox Christmas!  As a matter-of-fact, I realized that a few days ago. I had forgotten!!!  As a little girl, I was raised in the Greek Orthodox Church when I stayed with my Aunt. Her parents (my grandparents) were from Austria and were Greek Orthodox. I do remember that we always celebrated Christmas on January 6th due to the calendar difference. We went to parochial (not Greek Orthodox) school and we always thought it odd that the other kids had Christmas earlier than we did!  I even wrote Shelby and told her that 2007 isn't over until Jan 13th according to the Julian calendar - so time-wise - according to that calendar we are STILL in 2007.
