They should have moved it to the 24th instead like the rest of c/e europe
Who celebrates it on the 24th?
looks
The Greek Orthodox Church does the 25th.
In the US, Christmas Eve is a thing, but it's not Christmas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas
The 24th isn't listed as being when Christmas is celebrated anywhere in there.
Is a tradition in Catalonia. It's called "el tió de Nadal" (el tronco de navidad, in Spanish). But it's exclusive to that Spanish region, and it happens during the 24th of December. In other parts, like the Basque Country, where it's "Olentzero", or other regions without tradition, the gifts are given in the 25th of December. Nevertheless, Christmas is holiday for everyone, and Christmas Eve is also holiday but only for certain professions, like civil service.
