Christmas Day¹
Where it comes from
From Middle English Cristemasse day, from Old English Cristes mæssedæġ (“Christmas Day”, literally “day of Christ's mass”). Now equivalent to Christmas + day.
noun Christmas Days · Christmas day · X'mas Day · X'mas day · X-mas Day · X-mas day
- The day on which Christmas is celebrated. It is December 25 in the West, and January 7 in some Eastern Orthodox churches. When Christmas Day falls upon a Saturday (as it did in 1736,) the Collect, Epistle and Gospel for St. Stephen's Day follows of Course, and no Notice is taken of the Sunday after Christmas Day
Christmas day²
noun Christmas days
- Alternative letter-case form of Christmas Day The breakdown of our holidays into days of mere worldly diversion is pathetic—e. g.: Fourth of July without patriotism, Thanksgiving day without thanks and Christmas day without Christ. What insults to the Almighty! Let us make it not alone a Santa-mas, but a Christ-mas.
