And there are some out there, such as various followers of the eastern
orthodox faith, who follow "the old calendar", which means Christmas isn't
until January 6th.
A similar, but moving, difference occurs at Easter as well. That's because
their observance of Easter is , if I understand it correctly, predicated on
when jewish Passover occurs. I think they have a point, since "The Last
Supper" was a celebration of Passover.
