Although it might appear acceptable (in a secular to From a secular point of view it seems acceptable to let the Christmas season begin at the end of November (actually this is Advent), the indication of its end should still correspond to the liturgy: there the Christmas season does not end "usually after either New Year's Day", but in my opinion rather on Epiphany or at the Baptism of the Lord (in older tradtions at 2nd February). So I would like to reinsert: "Either on Epiphany (6 January)) or after the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, in some traditions 2 February (Candlemas)". --Medusahead (talk) 11:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Liu1126 (talk) 10:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Twixmas" redirects here but is not mentioned in the article. I assume it is the period between Christmas and New Year. --Jameboy (talk) 17:27, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd never heard of it before seeing your comment, but you're right about the meaning. Wiktionary has a definition... [1]. HiLo48 (talk) 22:59, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
