Srozhdestvom Kristovym!
As I missed my Holiday blogs and am a firm believer in second chances... here goes... Merry Christmas, everyone. Today is Ukrainian Christmas and, interestingly enough, the province of Ontario has the largest Ukrainian-speaking population in Canada of over 336,000. However, according to a 2006 census, only about 21,520 of that Ukrainian population live in the Ottawa-Hull area.
Traditionally it is a solemn occasion, but I thought I'd lighten things up a bit. I'm half Ukrainian myself and so can be gently sarcastic (a genetic trait apparently). As well, Canada is a cultural mosaic; happily offering the freedom to celebrate our differences and whimsical ideas.
