Well, Deda Mraz come on New Years eve and give the children their presents. Something like Santa Claus. Actually this is original Slavic celebration of New Year eve: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KoledaIts still quite present everywhere I'd say

So Orthodox Slavs have Christmas on the 7th of January, and Catholic slavs have Christmas on the 25th of December? And both have Ded Moroz on the 1st of January? So either way, they both celebrate two holidays that are like Christmas (one of them actually being Christmas).
