Christmas in January

Sounds strange to us, but to the Orthodox Churches, Christmas is in January, on the 7th. Whereas we customarily say, "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"---in Russian/Ukrainian they say, "Happy New Year and Merry Christmas".

 Yesterday, the 18th, was almost like Christmas again in our church. The cantata, which we had sung in English on Dec. 21, and in Portuguese on Dec. 24, was sung again last night...in both languages. That is, some parts were sung in English and some in Portuguese. We enjoyed singing it so much, what if we did it in July?
