1788 and 1896 were leap years. If it divides by 4 evenly it is a leap year, century years the exception. The world only went to the Gregorian calendar relatively recently. Russia , for example, waited many many years before adapting the Gregorian calendar.

Even so, Russia still celebrates Christmas on January 7. At least Ukraine celebrates December 25 too, but January 7 is still the main date.
