Since you're an unrepentent, atheistic communist, this is for you:
<<< In Russia the Gregorian calendar was accepted after the October Revolution (so named because it took place in October 1917 in the Julian calendar). On 24 January 1918 the Council of People's Commissars decreed that 31 January 1918 was to be followed by 14 February 1918. >>>
As for Greece and eastern Europe:
<<< The last country of Eastern Europe to adopt the Gregorian calendar was Greece in 1923. However, these were all civil adoptions — none of the national churches accepted it. Instead, a Revised Julian calendar was proposed in May 1923 which dropped 13 days in 1923 and adopted a different leap year rule that resulted in no difference between the two calendars until 2800. The Orthodox churches of Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, and a few others around the Eastern Mediterranean (Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Cyprus) adopted the Revised Julian calendar, so these New calendarists will celebrate the Nativity along with the Western churches on 25 December in the Gregorian calendar until 2800. The Orthodox churches of Russia, Serbia, Jerusalem, and a few bishops in Greece did not accept the Revised Julian calendar. These Old Calendarists continue to celebrate the Nativity on 25 December in the Julian calendar, which is 7 January in the Gregorian calendar until 2100. All of the other Eastern churches that are not Orthodox churches, like the Coptic, Ethiopic, Nestorian, Jacobite, and Armenian, continue to use their own calendars, which usually result in fixed dates being celebrated in accordance with the Julian calendar. All Eastern churches continue to use the Julian Easter with the sole exception of the Finnish Orthodox Church, which has adopted the Gregorian Easter. >>>
So since you celebrate the fixed feast of Christmas on January 7 of the Gregorian calendar, logic dictates that you should deny the validity of the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, today (December 19) should be December 6 for your purposes. Fight the power, Lin!
But the revised Julian church calendar (based on the Gregorian calendar) is a better calendar, and ALL Orthodox churches should use it, while continuing to use the same ancient system of establishing the date for the moveable feast of Easter, which the Catholic and Protestant churches have shamefully abandoned.
FYR-Macedonia uses the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes. And you live in Canada, so if you have a problem with the Gregorian calendar, then you must a problem with Canada. Do you???

The ancient Hellenic heritage has been stretched to such extremes, it has become a subject of ridicule around the World. A free society cannot continue under the shadows of ancient glory and myth, the chains of Hellenism have compromised the sense of freedom and reality. The concept of self-criticism is a remote idea from the national Greek psyche.
