Found this on a truly bizarre mailing list for it: One devoted
to my favorite Sci Fi author, Lois McMaster Bujold.

But there's enough of us Cold War vets and propeller heads
to get a kick out of this. Follow the link and it goes to a
pag3e with a bunch of Soviet Aerospace Xmas cards.

It's pretty much a reversion to the pagan solstice holiday (that Christmas
was created to supplant). Neat.
