Yes indeed, a Merry Christmas to each and all! Christmastide with a 2nd Class Octave... (in the Traditional Roman Rite).
The octave is so badly broken up, it hardly qualifies as 2nd class... although a couple of the Feasts in there are at least relevent to the season.
Holy Innocents at least fits...
Nice to see there is another individual out there who knows what an octave is...

Well, thank you kindly, tjhkkr! The Christmas liturgy, in the traditional Roman Rite,
(up to Blessed John XXIII's minor reform of 1960) is classified as Feast of the 1st class
with an Octave of 2nd Class. The Feast of Easter, 1st Class obviously but with
an Octave of 1st Class, too. And then finally, closing Eastertide, the 1st Class Feast of Pentecost
with a 1st Class Octave, which in the reformed rite of Paul VI was suppressed
(the Octave, I mean, Pentecost was spared!) [8|]
So at best, we have three Octaves left... [8|]
Nice to know you, tjhkkr. Take care, friend! [;)]
