Let me make this clear: “Christmas Eve” is not the same as “the day before Christmas”! Christmas Eve is the evening before Christmas. It starts when evening starts, be that 6:00pm, sunset, or whenever. It does not start at noon. If you say “Happy Christmas Eve”, I get to say “Not yet!” if it’s 2:33pm.
Ho ho ho.
You’re a mean one, MrNeutron.
My dad’s a teacher, and my mom worked at a university, so they both had Christmas eve off. We had a long-standing party at our place for family and friends in the afternoon, with present opening that night, so for us, the whole day was Christmas Eve. Nyah.
Well I hope yours is better than mine considering I just got fired today. Happy holidays.
Christmas Eve, aye?
Eh? 
Slight hijack, but my condolences, Obsidian Flutterby. 
Ack, boo, hiss! Bad show!
Obsidian Flutterby, this Santa’s got something nastier than coal for your former employer’s stocking…
[sub]Unless of course, it was gross incompetence on your part that got you fired. But I’m thinking this ain’t the case. Sorry to hear it.[/sub]
What kind of boss fires someone on Christmas Eve?
My condolences.
Obsidian Flutterby, What a bummer!! But, don’t blame Christmas just because you have (had) an asshole employer.
