Many people think of Christmas as a single day. However, Christmas is a season sometimes referred to as "Christmastide".
Christmas is the annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the long-awaited Son of God. Christmas day is December 25 followed by 11 more days of Christmas! The Feast of the Epiphany on January 6 marks the end of the Christmas season.A blessed Christmastide to all.
