Our Christmas in the US, December 25th was the last day of school in Armenia. Armenia celebrates Christmas on January 6th. So, on December 25th I went to school, had potatoes with Zoya and then chicken noodle soup at home. New Years Day is the big day in Armenia when stores are closed etc. Christmas Day in Armenia is not a big day - although a holiday, but stores are open and not much celebration at their homes except for a dinner.
