Five days after Christmas is the Christmas season -- *historically and liturgically, the twelve days of [after] Christmas is the Christmas season.* The religious celebration of Christmas in the Western Church ends with Epiphany, January 6th, the visitation of the Magi. My husband's family, due to several people getting COVID, has not gotten together/exchanged Christmas gifts yet. No matter how otherwise secular the suspect's family might be, if they observe Christmas at all, Christmas is very likely forever going to be darkened for them by its proximity to what happened today, on 12/30. If the family are Jews who observe Hanukkah, which this year ended Dec. 26, the same will likely be true for that celebration.
