A lot of countries here in Europe celebrate on the 24th Dec 😁
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services wow really? I didn't know that. Can I ask WHY? Like is the 25th still Xmas, but you do everything on Xmas Eve? Or is Christmas literally the 24th?
@ozoned It's like New Year's Eve is celebrated more than New Year's Day 🙂
It's not every country, but a lot of countries celebrate on 24th while some celebrate on 25th.
I think it's 25th in America because it inherited that tradition from its British colonial days? The UK celebrates on 25th.
The idea is a bit like a new year, people celebrate it on the eve rather than the day itself 🙂
@FediTips Happy Christmas mon ami!
Thanks for all you do to help! 😊🫶 🐿️🖖

@FediTips I'm surprised at the "today" in your post - it's 05:40 here in #Aotearoa, not too many other places on the planet where it's already the 25th - are you based in tha "prisoner island hidden in the summer for a million years"? 😀
