The first day of Christmas.
December 25th is traditionally the 1st day of Christmas.
Christmas eve?
First day of December :)
The twelve days of Christmas - "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me"
Christmas Day was the 6th of January before the Calendar Act was passed in 1751 which brought England in line with the Gregorian calendar.
I saw three ships come sailing BY on Christmas day, Christmas day....
I think it starts on the first day of advent which is December the first, and finishes January the 5th which is the 12th day of Christmas!
St. Stephen is the protomartyr, the first martyr in the new Church so his feast day falls the first day after Christmas.
