January 8, time to start taking down Christmas. Fiorella always leaves her decorations up later than most, partially because she never finishes decorating till the day before Christmas and wants to enjoy the fruits of her labors a while, and partially because she wants to recognize her father's religious heritage. Yes, Russian Orthodox.
Not that Fio's dad ever paid much attention to Orthodoxy. He flunked out of the church Russian class as soon as he could and never looked back. Acculturation was the name of the game. Of course, Fio, a full generation removed, is fascinated by the roots and even took three years of Russian in college mnogo lyet tomu nazad. So, to everyone who celebrated Christmas on January 7, S Rozhdyestvom Kristovim!
