Christmastide
The Christmas season extending through the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Christmastide is the Christmas season extending through the Twelve Days of Christmas (December 25 through January 5) and ending at Epiphany on January 6 in Western Christian tradition. The older Christian liturgical calendar celebrates Christmas as a multi-day feast rather than a single day; Anglican, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox traditions retain this extended observance. Major feasts fall within the season (Saint Stephen on December 26; the Holy Innocents on December 28; Mary, Mother of God or the Feast of the Holy Name on January 1; Epiphany on January 6).
