Austria - Incorrect localName for December 25

[RevangeXX]

More information

I’ve noticed that the Austrian holiday on December 25 is listed as “Weihnachten” (Christmas). However, in Austria, the proper local name is actually “Christtag.”

Here’s the current entry:

{ "date": "2025-12-25", "localName": "Weihnachten", "name": "Christmas Day", "countryCode": "AT", "fixed": false, "global": true, "counties": null, "launchYear": null, "types": ["Public"] }

It should be:

localName: "Christtag"

You're right, unfortunately I don't know anyone who calls it a day. Christmas is a day that spans the D-A-CH region.

As “ Weihnachten” is predominantly used in the texts of the “ Rechtsinformationssystem des Bundes (ris.bka.gv.at)”, we will leave the translation as it is.
