If you mean why is it not on Monday, as last year it was on Sunday, it is because this year is a Leap year, so there is an extra day, pushing Christmas Day to Tuesday.

What happens when Christmas Day falls on the day it has not fallen on in 11 years - such as the case in 2017 2021 2025 and 2029?

Most of the time, when a certain date falls on a certain weekday, in the following year it falls on the following weekday. But when the period between the date and the same date a year later includes the leap year date February 29, the next occurance of the date falls instead on the second weekday after the previous occurance. In 2006, Christmas fell on Monday. In 2007, Christmas fell on Tuesday. Because 2008 was a leap year, Christmas "skipped" Wednesday. In 2008, Christmas fell on Thursday. In 2009, Christmas fell on Friday. In 2010, Christmas fell on Saturday. In 2011, Christmas fell on Sunday. Because 2012 was a leap year, Christmas "skipped" Monday. In 2012, Christmas fell on Tuesday. In 2013, Christmas fell on Wednesday. In 2014, Christmas will fall on Thursday. In 2015, Christmas will fall on Friday. Because 2016 is a leap year, Christmas will "skip" Saturday. In 2016, Christmas will fall on Sunday. In 2017, Christmas will fall on Monday.
