do orthodox christians celebrate christmas

Yes, Orthodox Christians do celebrate Christmas, but their celebrations may differ from the traditional celebrations observed by Catholics and Protestants. The Orthodox Christmas, also known as "Old Christmas," is celebrated on January 7th. This date is based on the Julian calendar, which was the calendar used in the Roman Empire when Christ was born. The Orthodox Christmas celebration is not as commercialized as other Christmas celebrations, and it is often more focused on religious observances and traditions.
