"Old New Year"??? In May? When was this and why was it changed?

[Лимбо]

lindafishes8, Old New Year is celebrated on January 14. This is due to a change in the calendar. New Year according to the old calendar, the week after Christmas.
Many people really celebrate this date.

May 1 is a Soviet holiday associated with the revolutionary struggle of the workers. Now it is also noted, but as the Spring Festival. We have a joke about the Christmas tree, which is on the house until the spring.

lindafishes8,

ye, about May 1 that was just a joke )))

I might be mistaken but I think in the old days Christmas trees were kept in houses throughout Svyatki - Russian Christmas carnaval days. Svyatki started at Christmas and lasted nearly two weeks

Thanks for the explanation. I should tell you, my Christmas tree is ceramic and about 8 inches (20 cm.) tall. It takes only a few minutes to unplug and put into storage.
