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.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @ronsboy67@mas.to @MAJ1@beige.party I think the bigger celebratory day is the 25th, yes. Super interesting to learn. Thank you for sharing!
The idea is a bit like a new year, people celebrate it on the eve rather than the day itself 🙂
@FediTips Interesting, thanks. I don't celebrate it myself, so my gift to my colleagues is to work on the day so they can celebrate
I hope when it's your time off that you have a nice time then 🙂
@FediTips Happy Christmas mon ami!
Thanks for all you do to help! 😊🫶 🐿️🖖
