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’.

The Russian term is oксюморон, or оксиморон

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

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…
