Here it is.
But America has the 25th.

both of what?

sorry not to be understandable (this word exist? if it is not hope You know what i meant) both of the days. we celebrare 24 and 25 XII, even 26 (but not so loud)

the word exists more than you can imagine... so in Spain there you celebrate Christmas on 24,25,26 XII like Bulgaria, right?

re Russian Christmas -
It is celebrated on the 7th of Jan because before the 1917 revolution the Russian Orthodox Church was using the Julian calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian (civil) calendar used formally all over the world. The change for Russia came about after the end of the year of the 1917 revolution, when state was separated from religion, Christmas was officially banned, and some years later the New Year was invented. Sometime later people were allowed fur trees (Xmas trees, but in Russia they are called New Year Trees) and firms started to make tree decorations etc. The Concept of Grandfather Frost (Ded Moroz) and his Granddaughter the Snow Maiden (as in Rimsky-Korsakov's Snegurochka) were made up. And I can't remember when people were allowed to celebrate Christmas. As I type, there is a church service in Moscow being broadcast on TV, I think. Mum and I celebrated a little bit. In the UK no-one really knows about Russian Christmas.

Also, due to the Julian Calendar, there is Old New Year to celebrate as well. It's on the night of the 13-14th Jan
....which is also when I have exams

So there you go. Some historic context. I heart google.

7th Jan... two Christmases in one year and 4 days later, my brother's birthday
