Happy Ukrainian Christmas. Today is Christmas in the orthadox calendar. This is celebrated by all Ukrainians in the UK replicating what they had in the Ukraine. Inviting people for dinner which consisted of a 6 or 7 course meal and copious amounts of neat Vodka happy days. My refugee parents always invited those ukrainian friends who were also refugees of the second world war and had no relatives in the UK, plenty of sour foods like gurkins to nutralise the alcohol, it works. I have been in my studio remembering times with my parents at this festive time and creating. My latest is now on the www site see below.
