We don't call the beginning of a new year Christmas, it isn't even the end. New year is new year and is the first of January.
Our official Christmas holiday is two days, Christmas day and boxing day, but it varies in different countries.

In Iran, the beginning of spring is the beginning of the new year (March 20)
You call the beginning of a new year Christmas and we call Nowruz.
Your official Christmas holiday is one week and so is it for us. But people usually have 2 weeks off
Government employees usually take one week off.
Iranians either travel or visit relatives, especially the elderly.
These days, children receive gifts from adults (we call it Eidy).
The beginning of the new year with the beginning of spring is very pleasant.
Our country's calendar is the solar Persian calendar and the first 6 months of the year are 31 days and the second 6 months of the year are 30 days. Except for the last month, which is 29 days, and every 4 years, which is 30 days.
@HuwR worked hard to add a Persian calendar to Snitz. It was difficult for me to describe all the features of the calendar. Especially since my English is not good.
The Persian solar calendar is more accurate than the Gregorian calendar
The Persian solar calendar has one day of error every 3770 years and the Gregorian calendar has one day of error every 3330 years.
Also, the appearance pattern of the solar calendar is more beautiful. (I said my opinion without prejudice)
----------------------
Persian : 31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 29-30
Gregorian: 31, 28-29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31

It is a different culture, and it is very intersting to hear how you describe it. Thank you!
Norwegian are known to always talk about the weather. Probably because it's important to us, and it's a "safe" subject. Now the temperature are much better, almost all the snow have melted. Spring is coming :-)

Yes it's true.
Some Iranians peoples are not adhere to their religious.
like some peoples of other religions.
But the majority of Iranians adhere to religious principles. In particular, they pay a lot of attention and respect to the elders of their religion. Like Imam Hussein and Imam Ali and Imam Mahdi (as).
In Iran, the hijab is a religious and legal issue, but the government does not take it hard on the people.
In our religion, women have a very high and valuable position.
Is anyone allowed to approach the Queen of a Land? In our religion, a woman is a queen who should not be exposed to everyone. And this contributes to the health of the community and women are not exposed to harassment.
Or, for example, drinking alcohol is forbidden in our religion, but some people consume alcohol.
If you want to know the people of Iran properly, you should travel to Iran in the month of Muharram to see how people vow their beliefs and hold the mourning ceremony of Imam Hussein (AS).
If there is a problem in our country (such as a flood or an earthquake or the corona virus), everyone goes to the aid of others and builds houses for them and provides financial assistance.
Large numbers of young people form groups and prepare millions of food packages and deliver them to the public.
We believe that Jesus (pbuh) is alive and has gone to heaven and will return with the Savior of the end times.

As far as I know I've only met one Iranian. I used to work for him, he was great to work for and a lot of fun he was very fond of a drink
and didn't appear to be religious at all.His wife was English, on the odd occasion he took her to Iran where I believe she was accepted without any problems, I believe she had to wear some kind of head/face/hair covering?
That's it, my full knowledge of Iran

The family is very important in Iran, the official religion of the Iranian people is Islam, and the majority of Iranians are Shiites and a small number are Sunnis.

Please ask specific questions so I can answer briefly.
Some Wikipedia information about Iran is incorrect.

I got your email sadra: That you couldn't post on this forum. I'm sure that Huw has not let you out. Just try again, but remember that we, or at least I, am a bit tired of these questions about religion 
When you use the forum to email, it comes from no-reply@forum.snitz.com, so I can't answer you there
