Sadly... Yes it does.
I believe it's January 3rd.
future legislative sessions would begin in early December.
Two sessions of Congress equals one Term. A term is two years.
U.S. Congressional sessions begin on January 3rd of each year. Each session lasts a full year, ending on January 3 of the next year as the new session begins. Obviously there are adjournments and vacations during the year.

The length of its sessions has grown.
Since 1941, every Congress has had two sessions, convening in January of each year.

Each year, the Congress has two sessions unless the president calls a special session of Congress. Every two years, a new meeting of Congress assumes office. Currently (December 2, 2010) the second session in 2010 of the meeting of the 111th Congress is conducting business. In January 2011, the first session of the <newly-elected> meeting of the 112th Congress will begin.
