Napoleon raised his glass in a toast. “To the New Year!”

“To the New New Year!” Illya responded, tapping the crystal lip of his fluted glass lightly against Napoleon’s. “Na zdarOv’ya!”

Napoleon paused before tasting the champagne. “What do you mean — new-new?”

“Today is the New Year according to the Gregorian calendar. January 14th is the Old New Year by the Julian calendar.”

“So, do you usually celebrate the new one or the old one?”

“I celebrate both, and every day, between and after.”

The crystal sang again as the glasses kissed.
