6TH of Jan that's why it's bad luck to NOT take ur decs down after then
December 23 I believe that Little Christmas in Italy and elsewhere is January 6th, the feast of the Epiphany, when the Three Wise Men showed up in Bethlehem with their gifts.
January 6th in Ireland, January 1st in the Scottish highlands. It is the former Christmas before the Roman Catholic calendar was changed to include the pagan holidays. It is the date of the epiphany which is when the three wise men made it to Jerusalem. Hope this helps somewhat.
"Little Christmas" is the Feast of the Epiphany. Epiphany is celebrated in many nations, not as Christmas, but as the day the Wise men [astrologers, magi] arrived at the Manger to worship the Christ,. (Jan 6, or the closest Sunday) It is celebrated because wise men are seen to symbolize the gentile nations.
Some Christmas symbols are mangers, Christmas trees, lights, the 3 wise men, etc.
The duration of The Wise Little Hen is 420.0 seconds.
The wise men brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the first Christmas, symbolizing wealth, spirituality, and sacrifice.
The Wise Little Hen was created on 1934-06-09.

New Year's Day is the next holiday after Christmas.
The Armenian Apostolic Church actually celebrates Christmas on 6 January, rather than 25 December. 6 January is traditionally the date of Epiphany, the visit of the wise men to see baby Jesus, but Armenian Apostolics celebrate Christmas and Epiphany on the same day.
