[Elecraft] happy holidays

[Dave Yarnes]

And there are some out there, such as various followers of the eastern 
orthodox faith, who follow "the old calendar", which means Christmas isn't 
until January 6th.

A similar, but moving, difference occurs at Easter as well.  That's because 
their observance of Easter is , if I understand it correctly, predicated on 
when jewish Passover occurs.  I think they have a point, since "The Last 
Supper" was a celebration of Passover.
