Christmas week is a name for the time between Christmas and New Year. It may begin with Christmas Eve celebrations. It may end with New Year's Eve and New Year's Day celebrations.
"Romjul" or the English version "Interscotia" is what it is called in Norway. Thank you wikipedia. I'm going to start using both with friends and see which is more popular.
The next year in which Christmas day will fall on a Sunday will be in 2016.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Christmas day fell on a Sunday in the following years:195519601966
In the calendar promulgated in 1969, the feast was moved to the Sunday within the Octave of Christmas, between Christmas and New Year's Day (both exclusive), or when there is no Sunday within the Octave (if both Christmas Day and New Year's Day are Sundays), it is held on 30 December, a Friday in such years.
Since the turn of the century, Christmas has been on Sunday twice - once in 2005 and then again in 2011 - six years later - and due to the manoeuvring of the leap day in 2016, the next time Christmas will be on Sunday won't be in 2017 - six years later - but in 2016!
21st Century: 2005, 2011 and it will again in 2016.
five years time
Christmas is always on the 25th of December so the day of the week changes every year. Christmas 2011 was on a Sunday so logically it should be on a Sunday in 2018 but because of leap years the next time Christmas will fall on a Sunday will be 2016. The pattern does eventually repeat but not for many years.
Christmas was last on Sunday in 2011 and due to the leap day in 2016, Christmas will be skipping from Friday to Sunday. Here are the years from 2000 to 2050 which Christmas will be on Sunday: 2005 2011 2016 2022 2033 2039 2044 2050 I hope this answers your question!
Christmas falls on Sunday in 2016.

No. Because of a leap year, it can be 5 or 6 years. 2011 will have Christmas on a Sunday and the next time will be in 2016, 5 years from 2011, because there are two leap years within the next seven years.
