How does one call Christmastide, i.e., Christmas Eve through Epiphany, the twelve days of Christmas?

Dankon anticipe!

I like "la sezono de Kristnasko" but no one seems to use it. "La kristnaska tempo" is very common.

You meant "Christmas' Eve"... right?

I would say "La kristnaska sezono".

You mean yule/yuletide, right? : P

Here, "Christmas" traditionally extends from December 24th to January 13th, but the yule season is a lot longer than that, so honestly I think that specifically saying "twelve days of Christmas" would be a bit confusing unless you mention that in your country there is specifically only 12 days. (Additionally, in Finland they even have "mini Christmas" and I don't know if that affects how many days of Christmas they have...)

I actually find using "Christbirth" (Kristnasko) a bit weird because what do you call it if it's come to a point (or even, come full circle) to where it doesn't celebrate Christ at all? ;_; Pretty sure Japan and all of the Nordic countries aren't really celebrating Christ's birth, and plenty of Americans celebrate it without being any form of Christian, that's what I mean.

well, "sunset" and "sunrise" are equally as "weird" but we still use the words........

Nordic countries? They do Christmas. And there are certain parts of Japan which have Christiaan communities.

Once you remove the Christian (and Pagan!) aspects of Christmas, it becomes worthless and tacky - just greed worship

Nephihaha:Once you remove the Christian (and Pagan!) aspects of Christmas, it becomes worthless and tacky - just greed worship

But not worthless to stores and manufacturers...

I like celebrating Jesus' birth; I like the decorations and the music, but I don't like the commercial ruckus!
