Maybe locked, now he has his answer, but why deleted?

There may be several members on this forum that are unaware that many Russians celebrate Christmas on the 7th January, as opposed to the

25th December.

Why not leave the thread for their information?

the dusit seems spot on, the op may be a bit culturally blinkered though

Also Catholics celebrate it on the 7th. Latin Americans celebrate Dia de los Reyes Magos on that day (Day of the 3 wise kings).

Not being pedantic, but yes, magos is magician, not wise, but there you go.....

Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas Day on or near January 7 in the Gregorian calendar. This date works to be December 25 in the Julian calendar, which pre-dates the Gregorian calendar.
