Historically, Russians usually rest for the first 9-10 days of the new year – quite officially. However, not all countries attach such great importance to the New Year. Let’s figure out how many days during the New Year holidays people usually rest in other countries.
So, most of the countries in the modern world celebrate the New Year according to the Gregorian calendar, so almost everywhere — without exceptions! – January 1 is considered a holiday.
However, for example, in China they celebrate the new Year according to the Chinese calendar, so the New Year’s Day changes every time, but it always falls between January 21 and February 21. The Chinese rest directly on the day of the holiday and two more days after it. In many countries of the world, Christmas and the New Year itself are considered days off.
