Collection: Новый Год - New Years Cards - Novy God

"Russian Christmas" if you want to sound uncultured.

Novy God is the Russian New Year's Eve and New Year's Day celebration.

Similar customs are observed in all post-Soviet states. The actual beginning of the celebration is marked by the Kremlin Clock striking twelve, i.e. midnight Moscow Time preceded by the New Year Address by President of Russia and followed by the playing of the National Anthem of Russia.

Russians generally take the week between New Year and Christmas (celebrated on 7 January, corresponding to Christmas Day according to the Julian Calendar) off (Новогодние каникулы "New Year's holidays").
