For us here, Christmas eve is Cristmas Eve and it's the evening of December 24th (called "Heiligabend", literally translated "holy evening", cf. "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, ..." i.e. "Silent night, holy night, ...").rprosperi wrote: ↑Tue Dec 25, 2018 3:09 amWhy, does it start earlier in Germany?Thomas Okken wrote: ↑Tue Dec 25, 2018 12:19 amOutside Germany, Christmas doesn't really start until the 25th.

Re: 43S News
Christmas Eve is the 24th everywhere, but what's different in Germany (and other German-speaking countries, and probably some other places I don't know of as well) is that the giving of gifts happens on that evening, rather than on the 25th, so people get into the Christmas spirit a bit earlier than elsewhere.Walter wrote: ↑Tue Dec 25, 2018 11:45 amFor us here, Christmas eve is Cristmas Eve and it's the evening of December 24th (called "Heiligabend", literally translated "holy evening").rprosperi wrote: ↑Tue Dec 25, 2018 3:09 amWhy, does it start earlier in Germany?Thomas Okken wrote: ↑Tue Dec 25, 2018 12:19 am

Here in France (very, very close to the German border, not elsewhere in France), it is the "Christkind" (Christ Child as an approximate translation) and not Santa Claus who brings the gifts on Christmas eve (24th evening).

Re: 43S News
Traditionally, gifts used to be given on Christmas Day here in the UK but only opened on the day after Christmas, hence the name "Boxing Day".
Not SwissMicros staff, just an enthusiast.
Re: 43S News
I suppose in modern parlance it should be known as Unboxing Day (except on YouTube, where every day is an unboxing day!).
Re: 43S News
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our friends! 
In particular to the early guys down under and far east (from here)!
May 2019 become as peaceful and prosperous as possible on this planet.
