On the Roman Catholic Church calendar of holy days, December 8th is celebrated as a holy day of obligation, commemorating the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The observance of this feast began with a Papal encyclical by Pope Pius IX, when he formally defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, INEFFABILIS DEUS, on December 8, 1854.
To the Roman Catholic, December 8th is a significant date, not to be treated lightly. As a holy day of obligation, the Catholic is required by the first Precept of the Church to attend Mass. The days of obligation are set forth in the Vatican's Catechism in paragraph 2177.

it is not a holiday but a Feast day in the Catholic Church and celebrates the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which means that God kept Her from inheriting orginal sin.
Isn`t God Great!

I don't think there is one today, unless you include Advent. Advent is the countdown to Christmas, Jesus' birth. It starts I think 5 Sundays before Christmas.
