To keep each day special, share a fun fact about today. It can be an important birth, historical event, day is part of a mathematical pattern, etc.

I'll start.

On Christmas, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as leader of the Soviet Union in 1991 (no longer known as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union but instead the President of the Soviet Union; the Communist Party was banned following a failed hardliner coup against Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin back in August).

Hours after Gorbachev's resignation, the red-and-gold hammer-and-sickle flag of the Soviet Union was pulled down over the Moscow Kremlin and is replaced with the white-blue-red tricolor flag of the Russian Empire, now the flag of the Russian Federation.

OG American Chad George Washington crossed a frozen river to force freedom past the horrendous maws and down the willfully-enslaved gullets of a bunch of dumb Brit-niggers. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.
 
pornstar Joanna Angel was born on christmas day 1980, some say the trauma of getting birthday presents on christmas is why she's spent the majority of her life in porn being a dirty little cumslut.

On the day after Christmas of 1991, the upper chamber of the Supreme Soviet, the Soviet of the Republics, voted to formally dissolve the Soviet Union (USSR). The dissolution gave independence to the fifteen countries' republics with the Russian Federation becoming the sole legal successor to the Union.

With the fall of the USSR, the United States of America becomes the world's sole superpower, beginning a new era of the dominance of "liberal democracy."
