Thanksgiving is American national holiday. Why do you thing we should we celebrate it? We don't have such a holiday.

As to the Christmas we do celebrate it, but by Julian calendar, as our Church (Othodox) has not accepted Gregorian one. It is celebrated a week later after the New Year and 2 weeks later after the Catholic one. However, not all of our people are very religious and truly celebrate Christmas, as it due according to Orthodox tradition.

The New Year is a more popular holiday. The menu of the New Year is often includes Champagne and Oliv'e salad. But it's recipe is very different from the European version. I can give it to you, if you wish.
