   I only received one card on my website. Were there more? Also, technically, this is not a Christmas card. It’s a New Year’s card.

   On Christmas Day, I interviewed the owner of this collection, Boris Glazer, who provides comments on how the collection was assembled and includes some of his favorite examples. Click here to read the post.

   You’re right – they’re not Christmas cards, they’re New Years cards.

   My first thought when I saw that was – Soviet + Christmas = that word that’s used when two things can’t go together, like white liqourice and stuff like that. What’s that word again? I should know things like that…

   Oxymoron is the word you’re looking for I think… how do you say that in Russian?

   The Russian term is oксюморон, or оксиморон

   MA, to see the whole set, click on ‘Soviet Christmas Cards’ which is in blue on my version of this page.

   B.T.W. My Russian friends call me ‘Reek’ even though there is an ‘ih’ sound in Russian I believe. I guess they are going with the spelling where ‘i’ is pronounced as ‘ee’.
