I appreciate the Twelve Days of Christmas. The last week of the year is the annual ‘Dead Week’, anyway. I have taken the last week off a couple of times, and have taken the last half of December off a couple of times because if I made any more money, I’d go to a higher tax bracket. It was cheaper not to work.

The Epiphany as the end of the Christmas season makes sense from a temporal view: the Magi didn’t see the star (December 25), and teleport to Bethlehem. What with the Holiday travel season, added to the business travel for tax purposes, transit would be delayed, and they probably had to change planes in Tel Aviv.

Celebrating the Holiday over two weeks seems a better use of the holiday investment. Now, lots of run-up for One Day. Maybe take a lesson from others, and spend some time to enjoy and reflect.

Spoiler Alert: “Very traditionally!”

“In addition to December 25th, they also acknowledge January 6th as the Epiphany, and which they call “Old Christmas,” to account for days removed from the Gregorian Calendar in 1582 when it was updated to keep Easter on track.

With good will to all!”

Thank you, Bob. During a time in which both Judaism and Christianity are under attack from seemingly all sides, it is much appreciated.
