The date is different because the Russian Orthodox church uses the old 'Julian' calendar.
The Russian word for Christmas Eve is 'sochelnik', comes from the word 'sochivo'.
 Kutia is a special dish for Christmas sometimes eaten from one common bowl, this symbolizes unity. 'Vzvar' (meaning 'boil-up') is often served at the end of the meal. It's a sweet drink made from dried fruit and honey boiled in water. Also we have Russian Christmas cookies called Kozulya which are made in the shape of a sheep, goat or deer.
Russia, Yaroslavl

We meet family and relatives. Many families watch TV at 3 pm that day. It’s a programme with various cartoons that has become a tradition to watch.
Later that day Santa Claus comes and knocks on people’s doors. He comes into our homes with his huge sack and hands out gifts to everyone. 
Most families have a decorated Christmas tree at home. ]]> 2017-12-14 13:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/szaki_69/bey4q789sdsd/wish/216134405
