Thread: Russian Orthodox Christmas in the U.S.

Privet! I'm fairly new here to this message board and I hope that it is appropriate for me to start this particular thread in this General Discussion forum.

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!

кутья, not кутя.
I think it mostly depends on how religious they are, not how long they've lived in America. Descendents of emigrants of the first wave (some of them) celebrate Crictmas on the 7th of January even now and it's a part of their identity, so I don't agree with Dogboy.
