Τὰ Χριστούγεννα τοῦ 1917 θὰ ἦταν τὰ τελευταῖα τους. Ἀπομονωμένοι ἀπὸ τὸν κόσμο, ἔζησαν τὴν χαρὰ τῆς γιορτῆς τῆς ἀγάπης μοιράζοντας δῶρα στὰ μέλη τοῦ προσωπικοῦ τους, τὰ ὁποῖα ἔφτιαξαν οἱ ἴδιοι.
Τὸ πρωὶ τῶν Χριστουγέννων, εἶχαν τὴν εὐλογία νὰ παραστοῦν στὴν πρωινὴ χριστουγεννιάτικη Λειτουργία.
Ἔγραφε αὐτὴν τὴν περίοδο ἡ Ἀλεξάνδρα:
«Νοσταλγῶ τόσο πολὺ τὶς ὄμορφες ἀκολουθίες – πόσο ἐπιθυμῶ νὰ προσευχηθῶ μέσα στὴν ἐκκλησία. Ὀνειρεύομαι τὸν ναό μας στὸ Τσάρσκογιε Σελὸ καὶ τὴν μικρὴ γωνιά μου δίπλα ἀπὸ τὸ ἱερό, ποὺ ἔμοιαζε σὰν κελί»

"At Christmas, the family became especially intimate. The children were filled with delight. We now felt part of one large family,” recalled Gilliard. The Empress and her daughters presented to the suite and servants the gifts on which they had been working for many weeks: knitted waistcoats and painted ribbons for use as bookmarks. On Christmas morning, the family crossed the public garden for early Mass." (Pierre Gilliard)
