I have found some of my tickets form Hermitage lately. These are not all of them. To tell the truth I have lost count of the times I have been to Hermitage late December 2014 - beginning of January 2015.
Going to Hermitage in the late December is absolutely fine. You get in, take your ticket and relish the art you came for. Besieging Hermitage in the beginning of January can be the worst decision of your life. As Orthodox Christmas is on the 7th of January everybody is on holiday. After a few days of New Year's feast people are suddenly eager to see art. This mass craving is still a mystery for me. You have to stand in a queue for several hours to get in. You get a very nasty weather into the bargain. Cold, soaking wet, bored to death you are finally in, but you have something about an hour before the museum is closed.
