From Russia With Love 2007
I am updating you as I return to the North Pole from Russia. Many of you may not know that Christmas is celebrated Saturday, January 7th in Egypt, Russia, the Ukraine, and much of Eastern Europe. Orthodox Christians believe that January 7th is the actual birth date of Jesus, and not December 25th. As such, every January 6th, I deliver the gifts across Russia, Ukraine, and a few other countries with the help of Jingle and a large volunteer group of elves.
I encourage all of you to celebrate Christmas in Russia today by surprising some one - any one - today with an act of unexpected generousity or kindness. You will find that, like me on Christmas morning, you too will receive a priceless gift.
From Russia with Love - Merry Christmas, Everyone.
