      That’s the 12 days: Dec 25 - Jan 6.

      Jan 6 is All King’s Day, when the 3 Kings visited Jesus…aka Epiphany…aka the first day of Mardi Gras season.

      I’m not religious, I’m just from a culture where Mardi Gras is very important. And imo, we should all celebrate a day for no other reason than to eat, drink, and be merry :)

      Edit: Holy shit, just realized I’m replying to the wrong comment lol

        That’s not really a thing in the usa outside of catholics. Alao never heard ot called that even in Catholic school, visitation of the magi, that’s what we called it.

      Christmas STARTS on 25/12/yy and ends on 6/1/yy. As it is 25/10/25 we are stil two months away from the start of Christmas.

      There’s a song called the 12 DAYS of Christmas. I will never understand those who think it’s a 3 month season.
