Many people are unaware that the true origin of "Carol of the Bells" (Shchedryk), one of my favorite Christmas songs, is Ukrainian. It was composed by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1904. (See The Unknown Ukrainian Carol that everyone knows for additional information.)
Following through with the Ukrainian theme, below is a video I created ten years ago with the old "Windows Movie Maker" which was a part of the Windows Essentials 2012 suite. The video includes examples of some of the traditional foods that are part of the Ukrainian Christmas Eve celebration. They were part of our family tradition when my husband, born in Lviv, Ukraine was alive.
Warmest holiday wishes to family, friends, fellow Windows Insider MVPs (#WIMVP) #WindowsInsiders, and Security Garden subscribers. May you enjoy the spirit of Christmas every day of the coming year.
Remember - "A day without laughter is a day wasted."
May the wind sing to you and the sun rise in your heart...
