east has nothing to do with it) Russia is both west and east, the whole point is in religion, in our country Christianity is Orthodox and not Catholic, so people celebrate Christmas on the night of January 6-7

itās simply called the āOrthodox Churchā in our country, so I donāt really understand your claim, because it has nothing to do with Eastern religions and only Catholics call it Eastern, because they consider themselves to be the main and correct ones, although I donāt agree with this, but if honestly I donāt give a shit about it, Iām not religious. itās just strange strange to call Christmas oriental applied to a country that is not oriental. learn geography dude and think with your own head, and blindly repeat what they write on Wikipedia.

To us from Europe, the entirety of Russia is east haha. But yeah I get itās about the Orthodox part.
from this point of view, of course, Russia is located east of Europe, but nevertheless we are on the same mainland and for example I personally live in the European part of it))) but as regards Eastern Christmas, itās in China for example)) haha)

Thereās multiple types of Orthodox, Greek and Bulgarian are two I definitely know of, now it turns out thereās Russian too. In Bulgaria we celebrate on the 24th/25th, same as most others.
Mexicans(catholic) celebrate Jan 6 as well-just to throw in a wrench into it 
Religion is same crap, different toilet 
Makes no sense for you to call it eastern if youāre there, but for the rest, the Eastern maybe conceptualizes it to our point of view

That explains why they celebrate it on the 24/25 in Greece too.
In the end, yes agreed

Besides that I heard the name, I donāt know nothing about this religion.
Iām raised as Protestant. So not Catholic either.
But sure it came from Catholic, even so the differentiation is now huge.
Even so I like to celebrate Christmas, this above is my thinking.
my religion is music. Despite this, I live in a country in which Christmas is celebrated on January 7th and not on December 25th, in some countries there is no such holiday at all, and this is a consequence of traditions and religion. itās not so important for me, I respect everyone, and therefore I want people to know something about the traditions and culture of my country, if they talk about it and respect other cultures as well.

Very good divison of assets.
They must have also been on their way home after the event. Three guys dressed up as kings on horseback occupied a whole lane and made cars slow down to follow them.
Iāve never felt like going to the town centre to see them so finally they came to my neighbourhood to meet me,
