This month hv my favorite X'Mas, as well as New Year's Eve, countdown into 2018
To choose an unforgettable place - Russia, because of enough cold, so cool ^^
QQ need to spend at work in X'Mas, should fly after that
The best place to choose Russia is because it believes Orthodox
Orthodox Christmas is on 7th of Jan, nearly 70% of Russians are Orthodox believers
Early 20th century, Orthodox refused to switch to the Gregorian calendar, insist on using the original Julian calendar. In 1918, the government implemented the Gregorian calendar, but the church did not accept.Between ' The Gregorian calendar ' & ' Julian calendar ', there are 13days difference, So Christian Christmas is 25th of December.
For the Orthodox Church, Christmas is the second largest church festival after Easter
Every Christmas Russia has festivals with all Orthodox churches & overseas
