365 days after the first post, Here I go again(Coverdale mofo) :

Христос се роди Честит Божиќ на сите православни

Your christmas time isn't as important as ours, you're Orthodox and you know...

Yeah, you know that I'm just kidding. Merry Xmas all the Orthodoxians, have a great time as I did but don't make my mistake and just don't drink that much

Cheers!

Well, usually on Xmas I eat alot more than I drink... can't resist the Xmas food offer

Btw, in my country(I don't know about other ortodox), we have a nice custom on the day before Xmas(7th of January), we call that day Badnik(6th of January). On that day, every family makes a homemade round bread and a coin is put in the dough before the baking. So at dinner, the oldest person in the family, turns the bread 3 times clockwise(the 3 times being symbolic for the holly trinity - the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit) and splits the bread by hand on 'x' number of pieces. 'X' is : one piece for each member of the family, one for God and one for the home(some people make an extra piece for the car.. that's an epic fail lol xd). So after the splitting, the person who has the coin in his piece is supposed to have luck for the whole year . If God gets the coin, he will bring luck to all and if the home gets the coin, it means that there will be luck and happiness in the forthcoming year in the home .

Me being fortunate as I am, got the coin in my piece this year. So I'm definitely assigning to some poker tournament in near future. I can already see the pair of aces (AA) in my hands every second round
