Subtract 2 Days from Christmas

Hi everyone. Thanks to David Perry, a regular reader of DS, I've come across a mistake in the "14 Days of Christmas" post from December 27th, 2006. Turns out there is still only 12 days, ha ha, so I guess what I'm trying to say is that the basis for the title and first part of the article is only partly there. Here's what David said in his email...
"Actually it's still 12. Christmas day doesn't count, the season starts the day after. The feats of Epiphany is on Saturday Jan. 6th. Some RC dioceses may opt to observe the Sunday after Epiphany as Epiphany Sunday, but the feast is still on the 6th."
We'll be the first to admit when we're wrong, ha ha, but if there's one thing I've learned about the liturgical season, there's always differences... let us here from you... is this correct? Just leave a comment to let us know. Thanks!
