Emm, I can think clearly now🥳, let me look at the correct answer, Natalie!
Сообразить на троих
  [ saabrazit' na traikh ]
  To knock off a bottle between  the three (people)

🔻This expression is directly related to a Soviet faceted glass.

🔻The fact is that exactly 167 ml of vodka fits up to the rim of the glass - a third of a 0.5 liter bottle, which allows you to divide its content into THREE equal parts.

СУДАК -> <- ТУДАК

А clue 👇
СУДАк - [ sudak ] a pike perch
It sounds similar to:
CЮДА - [ syuda ] (to) here, this way
It's opposite to:
ТУДА [ tuda ] (to) there, that way, which forms a humorous word (it is not real!):
ТУДАк [ tudak ]

• Poждество
  [ razhdistvo ]
  Christmas

• Coчельник
  [ sachel'nik ]
  Christmas Eve

🔻In the Russian Empire, Christmas was celebrated at the state level.

🔻In the Soviet Union, until 1929, Christmas was a public holiday and a day off and was celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar, but after the weekends on religious holidays were abolished, most Christmas customs (like a fir tree and gifts) were transferred to the New Year celebration.

🔻Once again, Christmas Day became a day off in 1991.

🔻Nowadays Christmas is more a religious holiday, when Orthodox Сhristians go to church.

🔻However, this holiday is still loved by ordinary Russians. A quiet dinner with the family and visiting relatives are the most common ways of celebrating it.

С Рождеством! 💕🙏🎄
