So which date does Greece celebrate Christmas? I know Russia celebrates it on the 7th which is based on the new Gregorian calender, what is the newest calender and what day is it celebrated on?

Thank you George, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone.
The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular themes and origins.[18] Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, completing an Advent calendar or Advent wreath, Christmas music and caroling, an exchange of Christmas cards, church services, a special meal, and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly.
I was just wondering what others do at Christmas time.
I'm only familiar with the gift giving, card exchanging and according to Wikipedia a "special meal".
Gift giving seems to be the biggest celebratory custom in Australia.
I wonder when gift giving became popular and what other celebratory customs have been forgotten or replaced throughout time.

The greeks have abandoned the celebration in favour of the 25 dec catholic celebration.
