Christmas, which lasts from Christmas Day (itself an Octave of eight days) lasts until the Sunday after the Epiphany, the Baptism of the Lord. Christmas, along with Easter and Pentecost, is one of the three great feasts of the Christian year. We celebrate the birth of Our Blessed Savior for eight days, and actually for the entire season of Christmas, with feasts and gift giving. "Little Christmas" (the feast of the Epiphany on January 6) celebrates the showing of Christ to the world as we celebrate the visit of the Magi to worship the new-born King.
