I understand that Russian Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7th, 13 days after Christmas is celebrated in the United States. I am interested to find out from Russians living here in the U.S. when it is that they celebrate Christmas? Is it on December 25th, January 7th, or perhaps both days are actually celebrated?

Spasibo!
The Russians start drinking approximately on December 20th and stops sometime after January 15th (so it's really hard to tell when and what exactly each individual celebrates at any particular moment)
