3. New Year in Russia is celebrated on January 1, the first day of the Gregorian Calendar. In earlier times, New Year was

celebrated in the
month of September. Later, this day was
forbidden by Czar Peter, the Great. In 1699, a
decree was read about counting of years from
Birth of Christ since January 1. Thus, this
day was declared as a New Year's day in
Russia. Since then, New Year became a family
holiday for the people of Russia.

4. Until 1752, the year in which Britain and her American colonies switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, New year

fell on
Christmas day (25 December). In 1752 the official
date of the holiday was the 1st of January. The
inhabitants of the Kingdom willingly adopted
such an innovation, as was the opportunity to
extend Christmas holidays.
