Christmas season
Holiday shopping time
The Christmas season is the period surrounding Christmas Day, December 25th.
Its boundaries vary—commercially it begins after Thanksgiving, liturgically it spans from Christmas Eve through Epiphany (January 6th), and culturally it encompasses the weeks of shopping, decorating, and celebration leading up to the holiday: The Christmas season seems to start earlier every year.
