Advent is 4 sundays leading to Christmas, 12 days of Christmas goes from the birth of Jesus until Wisemen arrive on Epiphany. Candlemas is flight of Holy Family to Egypt to avoid Slaughter of the Innocents. (40 days)
Please note that "The Twelve Days of Christmas" starts ON December 25th.
Which means it's still ongoing.

It's also why I'd get annoyed with TV channels that did "12 days of christmas" shows in the days leading up to Christmas.

4. Since all Christmas decor is put away after Epiphany (Jan 6), I replace the shepherds in the crèche with the Magi, so they have a few days with the Holy Family. (No, I don’t keep the Nativity set up until Feb 2.)

The holiday season has been nice but I’m looking forward to the return of my casual, boring routine. Except for our tree and our 3 ceramic wisemen we made back in the day, all the Christmas ornaments and trappings are put away.

It’s when the Jesus was presented to the magi (wisemen) so they could share the news with the Jews and gentiles (non Jews)

They were just the Three Wisemen or the Three Kings or the Magi. I didn't know they had names until Evangelion.

The passage about the murder of the Holy Innocents stipulates that Herod was looking for boys who were 2 and under. Maybe you can add a sign with an arrow and the text, "The way to Jesus." You can also have as many wisemen or women as you want. It's three gifts, not three wisemen.

The only reason I know the names of the Three Wisemen is because I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion, so safe to say my Catholic education benefited more from anime than from five years of catechism classes.
