Christmas and New Year celebration in Russia
**Hello, dear friends!**
**Most of you have already celebrated Christmas.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!! :)**
**I will tell you how the celebration of the New year and Christmas in Russia. Our culture is different from most other countries.**

<center>![IMG_20181225_160449 copy.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmerfAQXKUmgDbeKoJincHL9qcynPwNzGNUWF5YavEpyyT/IMG_20181225_160449%20copy.jpg)</center>

Holidays in Russia begin with the celebration of the New Year. We celebrate Christmas on the Gregorian calendar on January 7. We don't celebrate Christmas on December 25th like half the world. In Russia, this is a normal working day.

We go to work all the last week of December until 31st December. 31st December is not a day off (unless it falls on a Saturday or Sunday).  My boss lets employees go home on this day, but it's more of an exception to the general rules. 

The long weekend starts on January 1st and lasts for 10 days. This year we have days off from December 30th to January 8th. But at the same time we have a long working week. This year we work even on Saturday, December 29th. 

Students also have holidays these days. Winter school holidays last 14 days and are longer than those of adults.

So, our main holiday is the New year! Its celebration is similar to how you celebrate Christmas. But at the same time for the New year we decorate the Christmas tree (or pine). It can be a real tree or an artificial tree. We give gifts that we put under the tree. But all this happens on the night of December 31st to January 1st.

We have an analogue of Santa Claus, but his name is not associated with St. Claus, and in translation sounds like "Ded Moroz" (Father Frost). 

The picture shows the main differences in clothing.

Our Father Frost rides three horses and has an assistant Snow maiden.

They come to children in kindergartens and schools for holidays and give gifts. Of course, parents pay for it. Also parents put gifts to children under a Christmas tree and say that they were presented by Father Frost.

Some companies arrange a new year's holiday for their employees. My company annually arranges new year's corporate holiday in the restaurant. I love it. 

This photo me with my colleagues

After the completion of corporate events come weekend and holiday with family.  

#### <center>New Year</center>

<center>![IMG_20181225_160511 copy.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYiJueV4UBHWU2cv6ow53HdB99vJwZzFsytTtrMo1uAUw/IMG_20181225_160511%20copy.jpg)</center>

31 December all prepare for the celebration of the New Year.  Buy products, cook food.  We traditionally cook a lot of food for this holiday. Buy better products.

If you ask the Russians what kind of food they eat for the New Year, most will say that it will be: salad "Olivier", salad "Dressed Herring",  jellied meat, sandwiches with red caviar and tangerines. 

Tangerines are so popular that many people smell natural Christmas trees and tangerines-this is the biggest association with the New year.

**Salad "Olivier"** is a long-term traditional salad. There is a joke that this salad needs to be cooked so much that it fits in a large basin. The salad includes boiled potatoes, eggs, boiled sausage, cucumbers (salted or marinated or fresh), green peas and mayonnaise.

This salad I was cook for last New year.

<center>![олив.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVE8aL9i6pVfEim2FN9qhHdVssmjkbv3P71EAf8rMwBCV/%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B2.jpg)</center>
<center>![line.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc3SLWGAkHGTFi8cP9o8xAwqRr2cTadzh1EzHNPehuGbK/line.png)</center>

Tartlets with caviar and cream cheese.

The second popular salad is called  "Dressed Herring". I love this salad, although I think it is a very unusual dish for foreigners. 

This layered salad. This salad includes herring, boiled potatoes, eggs, carrots, beetroot and mayonnaise. Beetroot is most unusual ingredient, but I love it in this salad.

The traditional drink is champagne. Of course, many people drink stronger drinks, such as vodka. But the first seconds of the New Year we meet with a glass of champagne.

New year's eve on TV show congratulations to the President. Everyone is waiting for this moment. After congratulating the President at 00: 00 everyone is waiting for the chimes on the Spasskaya tower in the Kremlin to count the last seconds of the passing year.

At that moment, everyone makes their dreams come true. When the clock stops, the Russian anthem is played. After the national anthem will all clink glasses and congratulate each other a Happy New Year.

And then the fireworks start! Many people go outside for a walk. All night heard the crackle of fireworks! Children go to bed and wait for the morning to find gifts under the tree.

January 1st is the sleepiest day of the year. It is a start the long weekend. Many people go to visit each other, or go on vacation.

#### <center>Christmas</center>

Christmas is on January 7th, but it's more of a Church holiday. It is celebrated but only by the religious people. On this day, fasting ends. Most people here don't celebrate it.

#### <center>Old New Year</center>

Also we have such concept as "Old New Year". This Is the New Year on the Julian calendar - January 13th.  Many do not celebrate it. But in my family there was a tradition leaving the tree decorated until the "Old New Year". And also on this day we cooked one festive dish for dinner. I used to find small gifts under the tree that night.


<center>These are the traditions of celebration in Russia.</center>

All kind of the same, some different dates and different names for things.  Also some different food.

I like how you get all those days off.  Great post so much information.

You are raising your glasses for a toast.  Which one are you @veta-less

Happy holidays @veta-less! :) 

Some things seem so familiar like the _Dressed Herring_ salad and I think my grandpa had the Ded Moroz costume in blue color now that I think back to my childhood.

I find all of these information so interesting, Veta! I know that you told me already snippet of this on your comment, but it's still surprising to me that you celebrate Christmas and New Year starting from 31 December. Thank you for making such a comprehensive post about the tradition in Russia <3.

@scrawly I'm glad that you liked the post and you read about our traditions)) And for me it was a shock when I realized that Christmas and New year in other countries are different holidays )) Because I knew about Santa Claus and gifts, but I thought it was happening on the New year.

This was interesting to me, the Ded Moroz character is obviously pretty similar to santa but it was interesting to see him in blue clothing in the picture.  I like the idea of a longer extended holiday instead of two smaller holidays (Christmas and New Years).  The food and dance looked like a good time as well.  Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you were interested in reading about our traditions. Yes,  Ded Moroz is very similar to Santa. The main differences in the clothing. Ded Morozcan wear a red, blue or  golden coat ! 

Merry Christmas and Happy New year! :)

Really enjoyed learning about how you celebrate. The differences and dates you celebrate on.

Little snow maidens look delightful, living in a country with snow at this time of year makes so much more sense.

Thank you for sharing this with such great detail and photo's, enjoy your break it is almost here. We can officially still wish you a **Merry Christmas and Happy New Year**

Oh I love this explanation of all your traditions! My daughter-in-law is from Russia and this will be her 2nd Christmas living in the US. Last year she made us the salad Olivier and for Thanksgiving she brought the dressed Herring salad and we all loved it so much that she's bringing it again for New Years. I have a beautifully carved wooden Father Frost that sits on the table by my front door during the holidays that I got when I was in Russia. He is so beautiful. I hope your holidays are fabulous, and again, I really appreciate this post!

Wow, great!!! I'm just happy you tried the herring salad. I love it very much:))) Yes, we have a little different traditions, but at the same time a lot of similar things. 

Today in the office we celebrate a holiday before the weekend. And we'll eat Olivier salad and herring salad. I can't wait for this moment. ))

Thanks for your comment!

I hope your party was wonderful! Your celebration is quite different in that ours ends on New Year's Day and then everyone goes back to work and it is all quite normal again.
