2. Oh, shush...

I don't think anyone on the Julian calendar observes Eid or Kwanzaa in January. If anyone does, I'll reconsider.

:silly:

3. Merry Orthodox Christmas

would probably be more appropriate.

4. Twelfth Night!

5. Feliz Dia de los Tres Magos

I don't know if this traditional day is celebrated that much any more in Mexico, but January 6 is the day of the three wise men, where children leave their shoes outside filled with hay for the camels and get small gifts in exchange. There was a similar tradition among the Germanic tribes of providing straw to Odin's flying horse around Yule and getting gifts in return. When the Catholic Church took over, it probably co-opted the tradition, changed it to the 3 Wise Men, and it spread to the New World.

6. I always leave my Christmas decorations (what few there are, lol)

up until Jan 6 in observation of the "other" Christmas.

The holiday season runs from Thanksgiving thru Jan 6 for me. Decorations Dec 15 thru Jan 6. As opposed to Sep 30 thru Dec 26 for the media and retailers.

7. I'll bite. Happy New Year. I'm sure there is at least one person who still

follows that calendar. LOL!
