In Ukraine, Christmas begins with family. Christmas morning is a sacred moment that people celebrate in the arms of loved ones. Tradition says that this morning should be celebrated with family. People congratulate each other with the words “Christ is born!”, and the answer is “We glorify Him!”. These words contain a special magic that can only be felt in the arms of your loved ones.

And so, imagine: I’m standing in front of you at this wonderful moment, looking into your eyes and saying, “Christ is born!” You answer, “We praise Him!”, and at that moment the whole world seems incredibly beautiful.

Thoughts about how wonderful it would be to celebrate Christmas together, under the tree, in the warmth of our home. I so want to be able to wish you a Merry Christmas in person in the morning, share this special moment and kiss you, filling your day with tenderness and love.
