Yes gentleman, you are absolutely correct, I completely forgot about those, and it is silly that I did because I am from banat and there are lots of Romanians from Banat :)
I guess I should not have been so critical with the author and then so forgetful. In any case all the best to anyone who celebrated :)

Walter was possibly referring to the Romaniana and Bulgarian minorities in Serbia (possibly Orthodox albanians too, don't know if they exist in Serbia and Greeks). They are Serbians though, not "Serbs". Their churches follow the revised calendar.

The Julian calendar was revised by a Serb, Milutin Milanković, but strange enough, the Serbian orthodox church has not adobted it. I struggle to understand why! Greek, Bulgarian and Romanian orthodox churches have adobted it. Serbians Macedonians haven't. Explain to me WHY!

Actually not just Catholics and Protestants but also Orthodox christian Romanians and Bulgarians.

Walter, the Serbian Orthodox Church maintains the old calender. Although many Serbs in the Diaspora may well attend Canonical Orthodox Churches that use the new calender, particularily in the US where there may be no other serbs in their towns and the people might go to Greek Churches etc, I do not know of a canonical Orthodox Church in Serbia that uses the new calender.

First I would like to wish the people who celebrate today a very happy Christmas.
On a completely different note the following is completely innacurate
"Christians believe that Jesus Christ was born on December 25 in Bethlehem, and mark the day as the beginning of the new era "and new history of humankind." "
Christmas is not a birthday party for Jesus, No one knows and no one is really concerned as to what day Christ was born. This is something that the western believers and us Orthodox can agree on.
The Church chose Decemeber 25th as a day to celebrate the fact that He was born. There is a difference in celebrating someones birthday and celebrating Someones birth. Much more so when this Someone is our God who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
I understand that the author may have been educated in a comunist and anti christian Yugoslavia, but it would behoove our people to know a little bit more about our Orthodox faith and Church History of Europe
