Fucking ignorant turd!
 

one of my bosses was just asking me when I was going to be taking time off for Christmas.

English is not his first language so we were slapping back and forth about what days would I be taking off dec 24-25 or dec 25-26. I didn't really care which of those, I usually take Sundays off anyway so the 25-26 was an extra day and kind of appealing.

Then he asked me what day was Christmas on......

I thought i misunderstood him, the whole lost in translation thing

but no he was really asking me that

I said Dec 25 and thought well D'oh

and who is the ignorant turd in my story?

ME!

It turns out they celebrate Christmas on Jan 7th, a huge area does too and I had no idea!!

so how alone am I? did anyone else realize this fact, that other people celebrated the exact same Holiday on very different days?

Your Boss is Orthodox?
Christmas isn't even truly suppost to be on the 25th of December,
This Jesus person was born more closer around middle of May,
December suppostly was a Roman Sun Gods Birthday till Christians twisted it all around, and the Noreigions came up with the Jolly Fat Man idea.
Ethiopians (Genna)also celebrate Christmas on Jan 7
