well the christmas season starts usually the day after thanksgiving. thanksgiving is usually the 3rd thursday in november so this year its nov 22nd. Black friday is the biggest shopping day of the year which is the friday after thanksgiving - people get up at 5 am for this. christmas is december 25 so thats about a month of the christmas season for celebrations, parties, shopping etc... Then after christmas you have another week before the new year so theres more parties etc... hence the name for holiday seasons. too many oy

Thanksgiving was created by the Puritans when they came to America to celebrate the fact that the Indians helped them learn to survive here. So of course they showed their appreciation by taking their land and slaughtering them. The Christmas season has gotten longer and longer as the years pass. Just last week I went to the grocery store and they were already decorated. One radio station is playing Christmas music for 93 days. When my father was younger, the Christmas "season" didn't start until a few weeks before the actual day (December 25). For me, it's pretty much always started the weekend after Thanksgiving.

+ The Christmas Season +
For Catholics, the Christmas season starts on December 25, 2007 and lasts until the Epiphany of the Lord on January 6, 2008.
+ Advent +
Related, but not the Christmas season, is the season of Advent.
Advent is a time of preparation and reflection before Christmas. It is similar to but not as solemn as Lent is to Easter.
The word Advent derives from the Latin word meaning coming. The Lord is coming.
Advent looks back to the first coming of Christ at Bethlehem and looks to the future when Christ will come again.
Thus we are preparing not only for Christmas but also for Christ's Second Coming. This means that when he comes again, we will be awake and watchful. He will not find us asleep.
Advent starts four Sundays before Christmas. In 2007, Advent will start on December 2 and end on Christmas eve.
With love in Christ.

Christmas starts on Dec. 25 and ends on the feast of the Baptism of our Lord. The Baptism of our Lord is sometime in January. I think it is usually on a Sunday in January.

MANY PEOPLE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS DIFFERENT WAYS. CHRISTMAS EVE IS DEC. 24TH AND THE DAY IS THE 25TH.
SOME TRADITIONS HAVE CHRISTMAS TREES GOING UP THE FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING WHICH IS THE THIRD WEEK OF NOVEMBER.
SOME PEOPLE CELEBRATE THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS WHICH ENDS ON JAN. 6TH.
