It's the Julian calendar date for Christmas; used prior to the Gregorian calendar. It's also another way of suffering a second Christian Christmas.
Easter egg, anyone?

Ah that explains it.
When did the Gregorian calender come into use?
I heard Europe went nuts over an imagined "loss of days/life"when His Holiness took a few dates out of then-time.
