I’m not religious, I’m just from a culture where Mardi Gras is very important. And imo, we should all celebrate a day for no other reason than to eat, drink, and be merry :)

Edit: Holy shit, just realized I’m replying to the wrong comment lol

Jan 6 being All Kings Day is oddly appropriate now.

That's not really a thing in the usa outside of catholics. Alao never heard ot called that even in Catholic school, visitation of the magi, that's what we called it.

Christmas STARTS on 25/12/yy and ends on 6/1/yy. As it is 25/10/25 we are stil two months away from the start of Christmas.

There’s a song called the 12 DAYS of Christmas. I will never understand those who think it’s a 3 month season.

Fixed with ISO 8601:

Christmas STARTS on yyyy-12-25 and ends on yyyy-01-06. As it is 2025-10-25 we are stil two months away from the start of Christmas.

I've created a helpful reference for this line of thinking:

12 days of Christmas | 12 weeks of Christmas
"They're the same picture"

You’re welcome to your opinion but that doesn’t mean you’re right.

No, they're right.

Tough crowd here.
