SteveChristmas and Hanukkah start one month from today.
And yes, Christmas *starts* December 25, and goes until January 6. Hence the 12 days of Christmas.
I will die on this hill, dammit!
eena meena me@rantingsteve from one Christmas to the other (Orthodoxmas)
jdw@rantingsteve I was not accustomed to this until I moved to New England. It is very apparent here because Jan 6th is the day Christmas trees start appearing at the curb for pick up.
Urzl@rantingsteve Christmas is based on the ancient calendar rules where the dates are sunset to sunset instead of sunrise to sunrise
That's why Christmas Eve is a thing. Christmas "proper" starts at sundown on the 24th and ends at sundown on the 25th.
