Happy Ukrainian Christmas (yes, there is such a thing…)!!

Now I can finally shut off my exterior holiday lights…

Does this mean that in a few more days, it will be Ukrainian New Year? I really need to get the skinny on all these potential extra holidays, so that I can present my case for taking those days off. With my gruelling daily workload, I can always appreciate ANY extra time off.

We are currently enjoying a brief reprieve from the winter chills that have been lingering the past few weeks. It was so nice yesterday, I even washed my car. I had forgotten what colour it was, under the film of grey splashed onto it by passing vehicles. The grey was far from an attractive option. Plus it looked like it had been hand-rolled in dirty flour or something – kind-of tie-dyed like they used to do with shirts and such back a few (30) years ago. A far cry from the sleek, glossy beast that it really is. Much like myself, of course.

Chow for now!!
