January 6th

Did you know that not everyone celebrates Christmas on December 25th. Some cultures celebrate on the 6th of January.

It is called, the Epiphany, Three Kings Day or sometimes Little Christmas. It is the day the Three Kings arrived at the stable with gifts for the baby Jesus.

The twelve days of Christmas start on December 25th and end on January 5th which is Christmas Eve if you follow this calendar. Christmas is not one day but a period of time.

Our culture has forgotten this recently. We put up decorations for Christmas before Thanksgiving hits and we tear them down before Christmas ends. This year remember that and keep the season alive for the twelve days.
