Christmastide is another name for the Christmas season, and currently extends from the first Vespers of Christmas Eve until the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord.
Christmastide is the name given for the time surrounding Christmas Day.
Some scholars think that the celebration of Epiphany (originating in the East), which included the nativity and modern Christmastide themes, was celebrated much earlier (possibly late 2nd century).
Christmastide is one of six seasons of the year in the liturgical year of some Christian churches; namely, the period which runs from Christmas Day to 5 January, the day before the start of the octave of Epiphany.
This period is also commonly known as the twelve days of Christmas, as referred to in the Christmas carol "Twelve Days of Christmas" or Yuletide as in "Deck the Halls".
In the Roman Catholic Church, Christmastide begins at the Christmas Vigil Mass

Dr. John C. Rao: Christmas, 800(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Christmastide, 800, was the season that Charles the Great, the King of the Franks, was crowned Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III in the Eternal City.
The events of Christmastide, 800, however bewildering in their initial appearance, were clearly the solemn confirmation of a Triple Alliance conceived in the 490’s in the former Roman province of Gaul.
Christmastide was also the symbolically-appropriate season in which to confirm the Triple Alliance.
But like the shepherds mentioned in the antiphon above, we must know who this Savior is in order to be transformed by worship of Him.
By openly contemplating the Light that was hinted at throughout the season of Advent, Christmastide recapitulates our Lord's gradual self-revelation to the world.
Indeed, the order of Christmastide feasts is based on this principle.

His latest seasonal release Christmastide, Christmas Around the World is tastefully garnished and served over easy, with all the fixings.
In addition to a number of well-placed favorites, his offering is leavened with several new seasonal numbers unfamiliar to me. Not only was I grateful that these selections had no umlauts, tildes, acute accents or grave (that so often mar my data entry experience), they consistently delivered uniquely pleasurable musical experiences.
Christmastide is warm and sweet, without ever becoming syrupy or tepid.

Christmastide Julie Rivers 1999/EarthStar Records Reviewed by Kathy Parsons I have to preface this review by saying that, as a piano teacher, I am inundated with Christmas music from the end of October through the holidays, so I do not make it a habit to seek out Christmas albums.
I sang the carols for a longer time; I read the Scriptures associated with Christmas and the Incarnation for more than just one day; I lived the joy of the birth of our God and Savior Jesus Christ for the whole season.
I discovered that by the end of Christmastide, I was ready to move along.

When producer Otis Read gathered a group of New England's best acoustic musicians in the studio in July 1985, we knew that the results would be interesting.
We did not anticipate the overwhelming critical and popular acclaim that New England Christmastide received.
Otis has once again assembled the faithful, with a few noteworthy additions, and is back with more of the magic that made the original New England Christmastide a classic.
I have been loving and collecting seasonal CDs for over 20 years, and New England Christmastide, the predecessor of this CD, instantly became one of my favorite albums when it issued in 1985.
