It's just Catholic & protestant churches that celebrate on Dec 25th & 12/25 is not a public holiday in Russia.

Cheers.
good to know....i read that as well recently.....in any case we have a pretty short stay....it will be early evening by the time we reach the hotel & we leave early the next morning so i don't think we will be exploring much on that day in the cold in any case....perhaps just venture out for dinner nearby....
