It’s already Christmas in Australia.
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
Jan 6 being All Kings Day is oddly appropriate now.
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.
I've created a helpful reference for this line of thinking:
12 days of Christmas | 12 weeks of Christmas
"They're the same picture"
You’re welcome to your opinion but that doesn’t mean you’re right.
No, they're right.
Tough crowd here.
I was joking.
