Is there a day of the week that Christmas never falls on?In: Christmas [Recategorize] |

Answer
No -- Christmas can fall on any day. In the first years of the new millenium, Christmas will fall on the following days:
2002 - Wednesday
2003 - Thursday
2004 - Saturday
2005 - Sunday
2006 - Monday
2007 - Tuesday
2008 - Thursday
2009 - Friday
While Christmas can fall on any day, in England the day after Christmas (called Boxing Day) traditionally did not fall on a Sunday. On Christmas Day people had to be at church, not at home opening presnets. However this meant that Sunday could not be Boxing Day as again congregants had to attend church, so Boxing Day would be Monday.
