Everyone in Russia celebrates the New Year, which is the really big holiday that everyone agrees on. As far as Christmas goes: modern Russians celebrate the Western Christmas on December the 25th, but most of the Russian Christians celebrate the Christmas on January 7th. So, for some Russian families Jesus is born twice.
So don't forget to send your Russian friends three cards: for Western Christmas, for New Years, and for the 'real' Christmas.
To wish a Merry Christmas say, "S rozhdestvom hristovim" or simply "s rozhdestvom"
In Russian it is written like this: "с рождеством христовым"
To wish a happy new year say, "S novim godom" (" С новым годом ")
