The jingle of bells; the muffled thud or horses' hoofs in the soft snow, merry cries and laughter of he sleigh loads of happy, fur-clad children as they ride through the streets of any little snow-shrouded Russian village, leaving cheer and presents in their wake, will no doubt be lacking in the coming holiday season. With the radical changes in the activities of country, it is not surprising that the holiday customs should also change or even go - through not be "forgotten" by the older members of that country, at least.
