What's Christmas? Here in Russia, there is a Christmas,
but it isn't on the 25th of December, it's on the 7th
of January. But that's only for the Orthodox Christians
and no gifts are exchanged on that day. It's New Years
that is the day where people give and get gifts. And
it's not a Christmas tree but a New Years tree. So New
Years is the day that the most important in this
country. If one has a great New Years then one has a
great year ahead. It's been said that a country can not
compete in a world economy if one doesn't celebrate
Christmas, because of capitalist consumerism. Well, New
Years here by any other name is...Christmas, even in
Soviet times.
