Winter holidays calendar
December 25
United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, the USA: Christmas Day
The Christmas story comes from the Bible. The Nativity scene — the birth of Jesus Christ — is very important in a true celebration of Christmas. At Christmas time you can see it in most Christian countries. Christmas is a time for rejoicing, merry-making, giving presents and feasting.
December 26
United Kingdom, New Zealand & Australia: Boxing Day
It’s a public holiday which gives the opportunity to relax after celebrating Christmas.
Traditionally on this day postmen, errand boys and servants of various kinds were given Christmas boxes with presents and/or money.
January 1
United Kingdom, Australia, the USA, Russia:
New Year’s Day
In England the New Year is not as widely celebrated as Christmas. The British usually go to a New Year’s dance in a hotel or dance hall. On January 1 Americans visit friends and relatives. Many Americans watch the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, California on TV. In California January is a warm sunny month with lots of flowers. However, the Russians have the longest New Year holidays in the world: they last 5 days and then comes another official holiday — Russian Christmas.
January 7 Russian Christmas
The Russian Orthodox Church uses the old calendar for church festivals. The difference between the modern and old calendar is 13 days. That is why Russians celebrate Christmas on January 7 and other countries celebrate it on December 25.
January 13
Russian ‘Old New Year’
Because of these different calendars many Russians celebrate the New Year twice! TV repeats New Year programmes, people prepare special food, and we are just happy to have another celebration.
