When is Christmas officially over?

There is no "official" date on which Christmas is over. A lot of the "pace" or "timing" of the Holidays is set by retailers, but each of us has (or can adopt) his own Traditions. A lot of folks might say that Christmas extends up to New Year's Eve. They may be right. Personally, Christmas is a Holiday that belongs in the heart all year 'round. ______________________________ Technically, the Christmas season begins 4 weeks ahead, at Advent. After December 25th, the "Twelve Days of Christmas" begin and last until Epiphany, January 6th.
