SO KARA IS ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN AND CELEBRATES BOTH CHRISTMASES because that is how they roll in Ukraine.
For the first Christmas she'll be wishing everyone a good time and extending an invitation to come to the traditional twelve-dish Christmas Eve dinner/party she's hosting whiiich is probably going to end in her trying to get people to go caroling with her fyi so everyone should show up to that. Friends/people she knows off network will be getting cards and something little but thoughtful, like favorite sweets or nice little gift sets.
For Orthodox Christmas she will be hosting said twelve dish dinner on Christmas Eve and it is going to be hype!!! There's going to be a buttload of delicious Ukrainian food and it will be delicious and after it's over she will try and rope everyone into caroling with her because that's a tradition too. She will go alone if no one is swayed so ANYONE SHE KNOWS OFF-NETWORK/IN PERSON YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE CAROLED AT AT STUPID O'CLOCK IN THE NIGHT
Said friends/off-network people will get their bigger gifts then, but since I don't know exactly who qualifies as this atm (s-sob I am so bad at this) I don't have a list so just assume it's very thoughtful and wrapped with fat cartoon penguin paper.
