If you really believed in what you write and were consistent in applying your thinking then you would agree with me that it flies in the face of religion to have New year's Eve celebrations during "pist". And if you say that Ukraine should celebrate the New Year on Jan 14 then that borders on the prehistoric. As it isthe country is already all screwed up--there isn't a civilized country in the world where the whole country basically stops for two weeks because noone knows who is celebrating what.
