For 18th-century Virginians like George Washington, Twelfth Night (January 5 or 6) marked the grand, high-spirited finale of the Christmas season. Most famously, Washington chose January 6, 1759—Twelfth Night—to marry the widow Martha Dandridge Custis, permanently linking his personal life's turning point to the holiday's festive traditions.
