Christmas dinner conversation
tonyc1 i'd be surprised if it's christmas for you today. is it?
| 06:25:22 |
 tonyc1 | It has taken more than 2 weeks for my brain to recover from the gravity well that was the koi pond discussion
But you're correct, I'm RC, not Orthodox. To me, January 6th of this year was just the last day for me to get galette du Roi from the French bakery, or frangipani from the Italian bakery. | 06:49:01 |
 .casenc | No Tortell de Reis mentioned 😔 | 06:53:29 |
| ngn | frangipani - isnt it spelled frangipane? | 06:54:29 |
| ngn | btw, it's not about orthodox vs RC but about julian vs gregorian (or neo-julian) calendars | 06:55:29 |
| tonyc1 | That's New Orleans king cake. That doesn't come for another few weeks. (I will be having some, when I'm down there for Vendredi Gras (I ride Hermes Friday night and march in St Anthony's on Sunday morning) | 06:57:44 |
| tonyc1 | I thought the 12th day of Christmas was epiphany? | 06:58:31 |
| ngn | no idea about that, im a secular person | 07:00:32 |
| ngn | ah, actually yes, that's st jordan's day | 07:03:22 |
| ngn | * ah, actually yes, that's st jordan's day (6 jan) | 07:04:03 |
| tonyc1 | I knew the Russian Orthodox Church still uses the Julian calendar, (I thought all the Eastern right churches did) ... but the Russian government doesn't use the Julian calendar, does it? Am I wrong about that? | 07:04:16 |
| ngn | * ah, actually yes, that's st jordan's day (6 jan according to the neo-julian) | 07:04:36 |
| ngn | i believe that's correct | 07:04:58 |
| .casenc | Whar | 07:05:22 |
| ngn | not only the government, but all of society except the (most popular) church | 07:06:48 |
| tonyc1 | The first of six TV commercials for "Ragusa King Cake" bakery of New Orleans
https://youtu.be/25wskUvwRkk?feature=shared | 07:09:54 |
| .casenc | That does not look like what I said (?) | 07:10:28 |
| tonyc1 | Comedy ... | 07:11:12 |
| .casenc | Until the phone number came up I was absolutely believing that this would be something Americans do lmao | 07:12:18 |
| tonyc1 | You should look at all six commercials | 07:13:18 |
 jacob.abc | not gallete du Koi? | 12:18:25 |
 miku.rb | lol. The mundanity of that conversation topic is striking. You'd be better off talking about your favorite ways to open a peanut | 17:24:10 |

 silas | 12th day is eve of Epiphany | 22:58:26 |
| ngn | why "of" christmas and not "after"? | 23:04:59 |
 silas | uh, looking at wikipedia page seems Christmas is 1st day | 23:07:08 |
| ngn | quad io issues :) | 23:07:41 |
| ngn | my understanding is that christmas is christmas and on the next day it's over | 23:08:40 |
| silas | yes, but you keep Christmas decorations up | 23:09:47 |
