What day they do celebrate the New Year actually?
(Sorry for silly looking question but in some countries people celebrate NY twice, 13 days apart:
"Novyj God po-novomu" and "Novyj God po-staromu"...) Just thougt, Greece could be a candidate for similar confusion, but maybe not.

Thanks, that's precisely why I was asking, wasn't sure about Greeks and New Year.

Is it true that the schoolkids have the longest Winter holiday in Vojvodina - from begin of "X'mas/1" till "New Year/2" (that's more than 3 weeks!)? I read that somewhere.
