From what I hear is that the new calendar will have the new saints. 
The Church is being attacked from within.  Vatican II has become a religion in itself.  The male demons posing as priests are coming out of the closet with their demon boyfriends while the feminist baby boomers give standing ovation.  Then they wonder why the pews are empty.

From - "The Season of the Nativity" by Sybil MacBeth (Novus Ordo book):

In the General Roman calendar, the 1 January feast, which from 1568 to 1960 was called "The Circuмcision of the Lord and the Octave of the Nativity", is now named the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and Octave Day of the of the Nativity of the Lord.

From the Novus Ordo  church - "Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar":

Pope John XXIII 1960 Rubrical and calendar revision called 1 January simply the Octave of the Nativity. (This 1960 calendar was incorporated into the 1962 Roman Missal, whose continued use is authorized by the motu proprio Summorum Pontificuм) The 1969 revision states: "1 January, the Octave Day of the Nativity of the Lord, is the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God and also the commemoration of the conferral of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.
Step by step to the elimination of the Feast of the Circuмcision of Our Lord:

1) Pope John XXIII 1960 Rubrical and calendar revision called 1 January simply the Octave of the Nativity.

2) The 1969 revision states: "1 January, the Octave Day of the Nativity of the Lord, is the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God and also the commemoration of the conferral of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.

I believe the final goal is the removal of the obligation to go to mass.

The importance of the feast of the Circuмcision is that the holy family subjected themselves to mosaic law and this is the first time that Christ shed a drop of blood for the human race. These two points are being covered over by many so called "traditional" groups.

For the last two years or so, I don't remember if it had happened before that, this gets argued about when the new SSPX calendar comes out. The first thing people do is look at January first on the new calendar and see if it says the Circuмcision or the Octave of the Nativity. These past two years it has said the Octave and people say oh look they fear the Jews and are modernists and they show it to the priest and say the Calendar is wrong and the priest tries to defend the calendar. I think it is funny even though I do think it would be better if it said the Circuмcision.

While the Feast of the Circuмcision is very important, the reason it's a Holy Day is because of its landing on January 1 and the Church's desire to sanctify the secular calendar ... offsetting the debauchery that usually ushers in the new year.  Why not the Baptism of Our Lord or the Transfiguration being Holy Days of Obligation?
