I beg to differ with John Orgar of Goring (Letters, January 4) about his comparison between the UK and Switzerland at Christmas.
It's worth remembering other countries have different religions and customs to us and celebrate at different times.
In fact, for the Russians, Christmas doesn't begin until January 7.
