Calendar
When it is kept
The days in the year its record gives. A day, not a date: it says nothing about when the observance began.
What this means
The days in the year Wikidata records for Christmas, each in the calendar it names: a month of another calendar is shown as recorded and never converted. Two days are two statements — often two traditions’ days — and are not joined into a span. It does not imply when the festival began, or that every tradition keeping it keeps this day.
Parts
Observances within Christmas
Observances whose own records name Christmas as their whole.
What this means
Records that name Christmas as their whole (Wikidata’s “part of”), read from their end, each with the days its own record says it is kept on. It is not a complete list of the observances, and not a claim about how they are kept together.
