What is something the Catholic Church does during Christmas?
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.
When and how is Pentecost celebrated in Christian communities today?

The priest may choose to use the Sprinkling Rite in place of the Penitential Rite, Alleluia is sung, the Gloria is sung, white (or Gold) vestments are worn.
