   Why is Christmas celebrated on January 7?

   • Technically, the original Christmas festival was actually observed on January 7. This is partly because the Julian calendar (also known as the "Old Calendar") was once used since Julius Caesar's time up until Pope Gregory XIII's reform, when the Gregorian calendar was adopted. With the change, over a week of days in the year were lost.
