ABSTRACT: Throughout his life, Joseph Brodsky clung stubbornly to a set of habits and tastes. One of his most outstanding and surprising loyalties was his writing a Christmas poem every year, which in time produced around thirty different pieces. Among these is the remarkable «Dec 24, 1971», his last Christmas poem before he left the Soviet Union, which contains a reference to his idea of «empire» –a criticism of totalitarian regimes– plus an idea of Christianity as a religion of hospitality and brotherhood.

 RESUMEN: Durante toda su vida, Joseph Brodsky se aferró a algunas costumbres y predilecciones. Una de estas proverbiales fidelidades fue la de escribir todos los años un poema navideño, lo que dio lugar a un corpus que incluye cerca de treinta piezas. Una de las más sobresalientes es «Dec 24, 1971», que contiene un enésimo tratamiento del tema del imperio y una idea del cristianismo como religión de la hospitalidad y la fraternidad.
