In Russia is in January I was told, is that correct Tsh? Ho-ho-ho. It really depends. You see, we are very exposed to Hollywood movies. So everybody knows that December 25 is Christmas. But it is not official holiday, and it has no recognized spiritual meaning here. I mean this is Christmas with Santa Claus, not Christmas with Jesus Christ. (And TV keeps airing Hollywood Christmas movies. Yesterday it was some elk looking for his father).
January 1st is New Year. It is official holiday, before it - night of wishes and gifts. Decorated pine tree. Grandfather Frost with his girl supposed to deliver gifts to children. This kind of stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-eQTGnaRxs
So I have not tree decorated - yet. I'll be ready to December 31 night.
EDIT so we know Grinch stole Christmas. That old hairy Grinch. But now they show Grinch 2018 trailer - and in Russian translation this new CG Grinch going to steal *New Year*! Gosh.
Now, January 7 is Orthodox Christmas. According to Russian Orthodox Church, Christ was born in the night from January 6 to January 7. There is a church ceremony in the night (and a TV translation for lazy ones). From December 31 to January 8 is official holidays. Now, if you wonder why the gap between December 25 and January 7 - that's because Russian Orthodox Church uses older version of calendar. Gregorian Julian one. Now it is 13 days late, and I believe difference is in how to count leap years. So. Un-officially - but pretty widespread - is celebrating of January 14 as Old New Year (just say that out loud!) (that is, New Year according to Gregorian Julian calendar.). It is not so festive as real New Year but everybody loves holidays. EDIT Wikipedia corrects me - old one is Julian calendar.

OK then my brother is right, he studied Russian language and had a teacher that went back to Russia. We also watch the same movies here, with Arnold Schwarzenegger... for example, and the British movie with all the famous actors (I can't remember the names of those movies) We have holidays for December 25, and january the 1st. The 6 of january at night, the "three wise men" come.
So we have a mix with the coca-cola icons and Jesus Christ.
