We are divided into 2 groups: the Catholics, Protestants, Anglicans and modern Orthodox - on one side, and the traditionalist Orthodox - on the other. The latter (the Russians, Serbs, Ukrainians) do not acknowledge the new calendar, therefore they continue to celebrate Christmas two weeks later (January the 7th). Traditionally, we decorate our trees on Christmas Eve, but modern life has made us move forward the date by one, two, three days (a week, at the most).
