A Ukrainian Christmas | Yaroslav Hrytsak, Nadiyka Gerbish

Growing up in the US, we always left decorations up until January 7th to celebrate "Ukrainian Christmas" in honor of our grandparents and then my dad. This year Ukraine will officially break from the Russian Orthodox calendar. And so, I mark today, December 25th, with memories of those years: an embroidered pillow, a menu from a long-ago special dinner, a new book to read, and hope that next year will bring a #MerryChristmas #December#Dreams
