That I am - well, on the outskirts of it, in what Pliny the elder referred to as Ultima Thule. (Pliny was an amateur - there's still plenty of land to the north; perhaps that counts as Ultima non plus ultra Thule or something?)

Anyway, adding to the confusion are the Russian orthodox church - they celebrate Christmas January 7th, as they haven't gotten around to adopting the Gregorian calendar just yet.
