Do they know its Christmas?

Do you know when Christmas is celebrated? The answer might surprise you.

Though many Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25, not all churches agree on this date. Eastern Orthodox churches, such as Russian Orthodox, celebrate on January 7 -- that’s thirteen days after other denominations.

Many countries celebrate other holidays associated with the Christmas season, such as Epiphany on January 6 which marks the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas.
