Doesn't that depend on which flavor of Orthodox? It's my impression that Greek Orthodoxy (which is what is observed in Tarpon Springs, Florida) uses the Gregorian calendar and therefore celebrates Christmas and Epiphany on the same dates as Catholics and Protestants. (Easter is a different story.) On the other hand, I think Russian Orthodoxy still uses the Julian calendar for setting the dates of these festivals, leading to Christmas in January. If I'm wrong, please follow up.
