How do you classify the end of December? Is it Christmas time or something else?

The End of December is Christmastime. The Beginning is called Advent.

or the Holiday Season? >< I tend to classify the 'Holidays' as the week or so between Christmas and New Year's.

I call it "Winter Break." This nomenclature is expected to last me only another few years.

We have two public holidays at Christmas (25th and 26th) and another two for New Years (1 and 2), so most companies close down inbetween and we get a nice summer holiday.

So I classify the end of December as being Holidaytime or The Holidays.

Liturgically speaking, Christmastide is the period between Christmas Eve and Epiphany (January 6).

The twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days between December 25 and January 5.

December 23 is Christmas Adam because it comes before Christmas Eve.

From about Thanksgiving to New Years is called "the holiday season". In my parents house it's also known as "mom's gone batshit insane time"

End of December-ish: "near the end of the year"

Holiday season. More happens than just Christmas, after all.

"Winter Holidays"
That encompasses all the various holidays that my friends and family celebrate in that "December-ish time of year, whether it's Solstice, Yule, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, Festivus, Saturnalia, or something else :-)

I am very confused. Isn't the end of December the 31st? And isn't Christmas the 25th?

So how can you describe Christmas as the end of December?

In the UK we call the end of December New Year's Eve.
