Orthodox Christmas is on January 7th... I guess I'll just get wasted like I always do during major holidays
We didn't even celebrate Christmas until well into the 21st century, when I was already in my teens. New Year's was the shit back then. It's Dedek Mraz and Novo leto, not Christmas and Santa Claus, ok?
>some traditions of past Christmases in my family
Getting drunk after enduring a few agonising days of volatile atmosphere at my parents' house.
Such is life in Fun Land.
Gonna go buy sum spirits now lads.

You're not so far from the truth. It's true that what we drink is usually more sophisticated (pic related is Negroni, it might seem gay to someone not used to italian liquors but it's god tier), but it's also true that we like raising glasses.
