As Saint-Petersburg lies in Russia and as Russia is a christian-orthodox country, Christmas is on the eve of January 6th to January 7th (as in all other christian orthodox countries, like Serbia, Greece, etc)
See wikipedia link, under the entry 4 "Other days of celebration"

I would love to visit Saint Petersburg. Last year I visited Kharkov Ukraine, Vienna Austria, Vassa Finland, Hannover Germany, and Yarmouth Canada. Some of this was work and some was vacation. I love to travel. This year work is planning a trip to Italy. I will not be able to travel for vacation until next year. All my vacation will be spent with a friend I met in Ukraine last year. I plan on showing her around the US this summer.
