Christmas Day

Boards, Committees and Commissions Christmas is a Christian holiday held on December 25 which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Eastern Orthodox Churches, which use the Julian Calendar to determine feast days, celebrate on January 7 by the Gregorian Calendar. The name originates from the Old English Christes Mæsse, or Christ's Mass, and the present spelling for Christmas is thought to have come into use around the 16th century. Christmas is celebrated throughout the world and is marked by different festivities including decorating fir trees, singing carols, and attending church services. Some churches practice their most elaborate festivals on January 6 (Epiphany), and in parts of the United States, this date has been observed as "Old Christmas" or "Little Christmas." Montgomery County government will observe this holiday. Category: Holidays. Age: Kids. Teens. Adult. Seniors. Family. Area: Bethesda/Chevy Chase. East County. MidCounty. Rockville. Silver Spring.
