Some traditional churches in Australia begin the Christmas season with Advent (four Sundays before Christmas) and carry the Christmas season through to Epiphany, on 6 January. This is really only seen in Roman Catholic and Lutheran churches, and some Anglican churches. However, the vast majority of Australian people start celebrating Christmas anytime they feel like it in December, and finish it on 26 December, which is the BoxingDay holiday. Many businesses do not get back to normal until 2 January, after the New Year's Day holiday.
The Christmas Season is the second of the six seasons of the church calendar, or liturgical calendar. It begins on Christmas Day, December 25, and it comes between the Season of Advent, which begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, and the Season of Epiphany, which begins on Epiphany, January 6. December 25 through January 5 are "the twelve days of Christmas." The secular (non-religious) Christmas Season in the United States is generally accepted to begin on Thanksgiving Day, the Thursday that falls after November 21 and before November 29, and end on New Year's Day, January 1. That is also referred to as The Christmas Shopping Season, The Holiday Season, or just The Holidays.

Christmas may well be considered the biggest holiday in Australia, as the shops begin leading up to Christmas for many months beforehand, with decorations and Christmas food on sale as early as September. Also, Christmas coincides with the main Australian school holidays, which gives it an extra holiday quality. Of equal importance for many people, but with less fanfare leading up to the holiday, is Australia Day, a day of national pride.
Cookware typically goes on sale around the holiday season. Starting in October, stores begin putting cookware on sale in time for people to buy it to prepare meals at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The 12 days of Christmas begin on December 25 on some traditions, while in other traditions they begin on December 26. In the first case, the 12th day of Christmas is January 6, which is Epiphany day.
