   Happy Orthodox Christmas (January 7). though it is already   
   past midnight and thus early January 8 (but still the night   
   of January 7) here and points east. Is there a Boxing Day   
   tradition, in which old gifts are boxed up and given to the   
   poor, in Orthodox tradition as in Western tradition? I am   
   hoping to give some gifts to the world starting tonight,   
   hopefully resulting in world peace within two or three days.   
   If it doesn’t work then I believe it will by Chinese New Year   
   or the Groundhog Day (the movie?) that follows it.
