From all of us here at the Abovyan Group, merry Christmas and happy holidays!

It should be noted that Armenian Christmas is typically celebrated on January 6, though New Year’s is generally a bigger deal in Armenia, Georgia, Russia, and much of the former USSR.  An annual viewing of the 1976 Soviet comedy film Ирония судьбы, или С легким паром! (The Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Banya!) is something of a New Year’s tradition in the ex-Soviet republics.

In any event, sit back, relax, and enjoy some of these classic Soviet-era holiday cartoons (a.k.a., the Grinch and Charlie Brown of the Eastern Bloc)!:
