Christmas is one of the most celebrated holidays worldwide, and in 2019, it was no exception. The duration of the Christmas holiday can vary depending on where you live, your workplace, or your school schedule. In many countries, especially in the U.S., the Christmas holiday isn’t just a single day—it’s often a stretch of days off that people look forward to all year. So, how long was the Christmas holiday in 2019? Let’s get into it!

How Long Was the Christmas Holiday in 2019?

In 2019, Christmas Day fell on a Wednesday, which made the holiday break a bit unique. For many people, the holiday season started a few days before Christmas and extended until New Year’s Day. Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. **Christmas Eve (December 24, 2019)**: While not an official public holiday in most places, many businesses and schools closed early or gave the day off.
2. **Christmas Day (December 25, 2019)**: This was the main holiday, observed as a public holiday in many countries, including the U.S.
3. **Boxing Day (December 26, 2019)**: In some countries like Canada and the UK, Boxing Day is also a public holiday, extending the break.
4. **New Year’s Eve (December 31, 2019)**: While not a public holiday, many people took time off to celebrate.
5. **New Year’s Day (January 1, 2020)**: Another public holiday, marking the end of the holiday season.

For schools and many workplaces, the holiday break often started around December 21 (the weekend before Christmas) and lasted until January 1 or even January 6, depending on the region and institution. That means the holiday could range from about 10 days to over two weeks!
