'The time is right for change': More Ukrainians celebrating

Ukrainian author Yevheniia Zavalii started celebrating Christmas on Dec. 25 back in 2014, “when the rejection of everything Russian” began in her life. “And this year, I believe most of my social circle will also finally adopt this tradition,” she told the Kyiv Independent. Ukraine’s Orthodox Christians have long celebrated Christmas on Jan. 6-7.
