Quiz Writer
Jake didn’t think he’d become a writer when he was growing up in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, but fate had another idea. After barely squeaking through grade 9 English, by the luck of the draw Jake found himself with the most inspiring literature instructor his small town had ever known, and grade 10 English changed his life! Suddenly, evenings once spent at the hockey rink were spent curled up on the couch with the best of Hemingway, Dickens, and John Grisham. A valedictorian address and English degree at the University of Regina later, Jake is proud to call Heywise his favorite place to pen informative quizzes about all his passion projects. If you’re reading a post and pick up a hint of classic English literature, you’re probably reading something by Jake - especially if you come away feeling like a slightly better person for it.

When does Russia celebrate Christmas?
Orthodox Christmas in Russia is not celebrated on the 25th of December but actually on the 7th of January. While their New Year Celebrations fall on the 31st of December, Christmas actually takes place after the mark of a new year. It can be seen then as a start to the Christmas festivals that begin soon after. If you visit Russia between New Year and Christmas, you will see those who do celebrate it, decorating with utmost beauty and festivity. Lights are everywhere in public places to truly spread the joy and excitement of the upcoming celebrations, and it can be a glorious sight to see in person. Regardless of when Christmas is held in Russia, it is always an amazing time to experience and very much recommended if you want to feel the festive spirit about you while exploring. If you do truly love Christmas, it gives you a chance to celebrate it twice!
