We’ve had one Christmas, yes, but what about second Christmas?
Jokes aside, orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 7th instead of December 25th (they use the Julian calendar). But the Ukrainian government has had the Orthodox Church move Christmas from the 7th back to December 25th to reduce Russian influence in Ukraine. About 60% of Ukraine is orthodox Christian.
All celebrations of Christmas should be more God† centered and remembering the real gift that the world was given - our Lord† and Savior† Jesus† Christ.

Our family celebrates both. The Orthodox Christmas for us is more religious.
