I believe >Russia didn't adopt it until the 20th century. ....and the Serbian Orthodox Church never adopted it, so we have Christmas at 7th of January (yes, the Julian calnendar is off by 13 days now), while all the people use the Gregorian. It's nice if you have people of both religions for relatives: in December, we start with St Nikola's, then one Christmas, one New year, other Christmas, other New year... a real marathon, grand lunches one after another. Whoever makes it into February without gaining weight must be some strong character.
