When does the Christmas Season end for you?

So am I brother, so am I.
Safe to say, Modernizing just for the sake of it just aint my cup of tea.

Exactly!

Epiphany is a word for theologians and over-studied people.
Normal people here call it "the day of the Three Holy Kings!"

The Church calls it Epiphany as well.

In America the 6th of January is called Epiphany as @Michie said. I am in my 50's and it has been called Epiphany all my life and it is not a word for just theologians and over-studied people. As your not American @Red Gold yours may be just for theologians and over-studied people

Theologians and over-studied people and "professional Catholics" are responsible for the downgrading of the Feast of Candlemas.

Whom decides it is downgraded? It is not downgraded in America. America is not Germany nor do we have the same things as you, so stop judging as if your better

That may be so.
And you have never heard of Caspar and Melchior and Balthasar?

Normal people can see something in the THREE HOLY KINGS - more than in that "Epiphanias" of over-studied professional professors of Theology who look down on normal people.

If you say so ...
I will not contradict.

I am done with this, you act as if your holier than anyone else because you dare to be an over studied person while we are regular folk. Goodbye

I’m sorry but that’s just crazy. You seriously believe that? You want to argue about Epiphany? There have been tons of info posted in this thread but if I post it you ignore or disregard it. What is your issue???

Oh don’t worry about it. Seriously. This is more than odd.

And you know this how???

Yes it is. I am sorry about almost losing my temper, I am trying to not give into that but sometimes I do. Maybe this person is trolling or maybe they believe silly things

I don’t know but whatever the problem is, it’s their problem to own. Not ours.

Please everyone, hold your horses. Honestly, is this really worth fighting over? I mean, honestly... Fighting over Christmas and when the season ends?
This thread invited different opinions, thus different perspectives should be accepted and appreciated.
Does it really matter if someone celebrates the season until february?

I have no issues with it. I do have issues with someone ignoring info given concerning Epiphany and then going on to make accusations that it is a product of over educated, professional Catholics, etc. Why should it matter to your friend if people end it on January 6? Many celebrate with the Church.

But arent they? I mean, if they celebrated short it could be seen as more troubling, but to keep on celebrating the season until february makes no issue the way that I see it. As Christians we're told to live in the Christmas and Easter spirit the whole year for our entire life. I honestly fail to see how a longer season to comemorate Christmas and even Easter could possibly be an issue.

The jab at others is one I dont appreciate, the church says what she likes and that's within her mandate. Theres no fancy 'theologians etc", but an official calendar for the universial church. The one whom decide not to follow that calendar is the one who needs to defend their choice, not the other way around.

Bottom line, celebrate for as long as you like. That being said the need for justification (if anyone is needes) rests on the shoulders of those deviating from church calendar as of 2022.

Here you go. Hopefully this makes everyone happy.

Does Christmas End on Epiphany?

It was not an issue. It seems to be an issue with the op. I’m not a fan of people taking jabs and being deliberately obtuse. Who complained about it being celebrated till February 2? Nobody did.

Nobody has any issues with it except the op. Nobody has degraded anything concerning Christmas as the op inferred among the other things that was being displayed here.

For some the Christmas seaon will end tomorrow, for some on the 2nd of February.
