"Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home." -- G.K. Chesterton, Brave New Family: G.K. Chesterton on Men and Women, Children, Sex, Divorce, Marriage and the Family [via Goodreads]

Today is:
Gregorian: 2018 December 25 -- the first of the twelve days of Christmas
Julian: 2018 December 12 -- "new calendar" Orthodox churches celebrate Christmas now along with the Western churches; "old calendar" Orthodox churches still have another thirteen days to wait
Hebrew: 5779 Teveth 17
Islamic: 1440 Rabi`ath-Thani 16
Persian: 1397 Dey 4
Mayan: 0.0.0.13.0.6.1.15
Indian: 1940 Pausa 4
Coptic: 1735 Koiak 16

A merry start-of-Christmastide to all who celebrate it today, religiously or otherwise!
