Thank you! According to my priest friend in Ethiopia, it’s not going to be Christmas there until January 7, and I don’t think January 7 in Ethiopia is the same day as January 7 here.

Pope Gregory wasn’t as influential in the Old World as he was in the New.

Christmas might be on the 6th there? Orthodox maybe?

Yes, it is. For 16 hours out of the day. They are 8 hours ahead of you -- add 8 hours to your time to find theirs. It's 6:30 PM Sunday for you, and 2:30 AM Monday for them.

(Just FYI, I'm regularly calculating the 9-hour offset between here and Central Europe Time, which is where most of my colleagues there live.)
