Note to Teachers:
This year is the first time that Ukrainians will celebrate Christmas on 25th rather than January 7th. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a law that changes the date of Christmas in Ukraine in order to separate Ukrainians from the Russian Orthodox Church that celebrates Christmas on January 7th.
