from The Epistle, St. Luke's UMC:

DECEMBER 25 IS ONLY THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS.

The Christmas celebration continues for twelve days, after which we celebrate the arrival of the kings who followed the star to find the holy babe. The awaited event is here! Don't put away the celebration just yet, but instead, follow the Christmas journey all the way to Epiphany.
