Christmas Calendar:
The Christmas Season: Holy Days & Dates related to Christmas

The Christmas holiday season is the season of Christian holy days related to the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Celebrations and dates vary between churches and countries. In particular, Eastern Orthodox churches use a different calendar, which means that the actual days on which they celebrate differ from the Western churches. It is also worth noting that traditional celebrations often start in the evening of the previous day (possibly because Biblical days started at sundown).
