waw i didnt know that lol, and a newyear is comming also soimewhere in asia I believe, It is strange to hear that it is not the same all over the world :)
I love your charming smiles sweetie. I do hope santa claus kept a special gift for me too. I'll be there in a minute to get my special pack and I'll sing for him with my golden soprano.
Thanks, my dear sister. Don't mind Santa Claus. The only 'gift' he gave was the photo shot I had with him. He'll be 'blown away' by your golden suprano.
I appreciate the good wish. Ukraine is very close to Russia, @gerald.knows. The culture and religion would be similar. Thank you for telling us about Ukraine. It's really good to learn about these countries and their unique culture, tradition and religion. Cheers, dear.
@slefesteem, now you heard 😃. Personally, I didn't hear of it until 1991 when a family friend told my uncle that he was going to celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January. It is in this country that I witnessed it first hand.
Great post you have got here. I just love it having you as my mentor on steemit. Beautiful pictures you've got too, I just wish I can visit this beautiful country call Serbia very soon
In my home country, Nigeria, Christians celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. For the Serbs and Orthodox Christians, however, tomorrow (7th of January, 2018) is Christmas day, because they follow the Julian calender
Actually Christmas is celebrated more than once in few parts of Nigeria. Most Especially at Ahiazu-Mbaise where I come from. There are different "Christmas days" for different clans or kins to celebrate Christmas. The celebration date of each clan is based on their "market day". Some times such "Christmas days" may extend into the new year.
If anyone had told me that Christmas is celebrated more than a day at Mbaise or any other part of Nigeria, I wouldn't have believed it. Now I do.

Hmm...good enlightenment. I very well understand that there are 4 market days (Nkwo, Eke, Orie & Afor). So, how come your last statement?
Typically we all know that over here Dec 25th is Christmas. It is really nice know that some other person's don't share share date and calender. This is indeed unique.
Double new year celebration. However, I feel it would not have the same thrill as that of 1st Jan.

Not to mach snow! Go to Russia!:-)
That's correct, @detlef-s. Russia is another Orthodox country, so I guess that Christmas would be on the same 7th of January too.
Amazing post with beautiful pictures, Merry Christmas To you and May the universe bless you in surprising and joyful ways.
Happy New Year @maryfavour
Thanks, @sameer999. Amen to your wonderful prayers. May your heart's desires be fulfilled this new year and beyond 🙏. Happy New Year!!!

Yes it is

It's good to learn that you now know, @billmega.

As the saying goes

In Ukraine the evening of January 6 they greet, and in the morning Christmas carols! Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you, @adorably. It's interesting to learn from you how Christmas is celebrated in Ukraine. Cheers.
Wow excellent post and beautiful photography

This is cool ma'am.
The uniqueness, @gunneresq, is actually what made me to blog about Christmas in January.
Today , 14th of January is Orthodox New Year. The thrill is certainly not the same as that of 1st of January. Cheers.
