Little Christmas (Irish: Nollaig na mBan) is one of the traditional names in Ireland for 6 January, which is also widely known in the rest of the world as the Feast of the Epiphany. It is sometime thought that it is called this because under the older Julian calendar, Christmas Day celebrations fell on that day whereas under the Gregorian calendar it falls on 25 December. However the eastern tradition of celebrating the birth of Jesus on 6 January precedes the creation of the Gregorian Calendar by hundreds of years. By the year 1500 AD eastern Churches were celebrating Christmas on 6 January and western churches were celebrating it on 25 December even though both were using the Julian Calendar. It is the traditional end of the Christmas season and until 2013 was the last day of the Christmas holidays for both primary and secondary schools in Ireland.
In the Scottish Highlands the term Little Christmas (Scottish Gaelic: Nollaig Bheag) is applied to New Year's Day, also known as Là Challuinn, or Là na Bliadhna Ùire, while Epiphany is known as Là Féill nan Rìgh, the feast-day of the Kings. The Transalpine Redemptorists who live on Papa Stronsay celebrate 'Little Christmas' on the twenty-fifth day of every month, except for December, when the twenty-fifth day is of course celebrated as Christmas Day.
A Merry Little Christmas may refer to:
A Merry Little Christmas is a Christmas album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt, released in 2000. It was the final release under Ronstadt's recording contract with the Elektra/Asylum Records label for whom Linda had recorded since 1973 (twenty-seven years to that point). John Boylan returned to the scene as Linda's producer - and manager - for this disc. He remains her official representative as of 2014.
It was the biggest-selling Holiday album of the 2000 Christmas season. It peaked at #179 on Billboard's main album chart and has continued to sell year in and year out.
A Merry Little Christmas is a Christmas-themed extended play released by American country music group Lady Antebellum. Released on October 12, 2010, the EP was available for purchase only at the American discount department store chain Target. The EP features one original track, "On This Winter's Night", and a cover of the Mariah Carey hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You". All six tracks are on their 2012 Christmas album, On This Winter's Night.
"Merry Little Christmas" is the tenth episode of the third season of House and the fifty-sixth episode overall.
Dr. Wilson attempts to create a deal between Detective Tritter and Dr. House, but House stubbornly refuses, in large part because the deal involves House spending up to two months in rehabilitation, supplied only with low-strength pain medication. Wilson points out to House how he almost "cut a little girl in half" and punched a coworker. House angrily points out that he was in pain. House, still unconvinced, demands Detective Tritter and Wilson leave his office. Eventually, Dr. Cuddy sides with Wilson and refuses House any Vicodin, forcing him to detox, and removes him from his team's case: a 15-year-old girl suffering from a collapsed lung and anemia.
The patient, Abigail, and her mother, is considered to be suffering from cartilage-hair hypoplasia, a type of dwarfism. Abigail also presents with apparent liver cancer and diabetic ketoacidosis, among other things.
House's third season ran from September 5, 2006 to May 29, 2007. Early in the season, House temporarily regains the use of his leg due to ketamine treatment after he was shot in the season two finale. Later in the season, he leaves a stubborn patient in an exam room with a thermometer in his rectum. Because House is unwilling to apologize, the patient, police detective Michael Tritter, starts an investigation around House's Vicodin addiction.
David Morse joined the cast for seven episodes as Tritter. He was cast for the role after having previously worked with House's creator David Shore on CBS' Hack.

An absolutely haunting and beautiful rendition of this song from Linda Ronstadt's "A Merry Little Christmas" album, released in 2000. With a slide show slapped together by your humble narrator. I own no rights to either the music or the images, but I do claim the right to be gratefully affected by the delicate grace of this stunning vocal performance . . .

chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
jack frost nipping on your nose,
yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
and folks dressed up like eskimos.
everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
help to make the season bright.
tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
will find it hard to sleep tonight.
they know that santa's on his way;
he's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
and every mother's child is going to spy,
to see if reindeer really know how to fly.
and so i'm offering this simple phrase,
to kids from one to ninety-two,
although its been said many times, many ways,
merry christmas
merry christmas
