I think that Sabbe-chan is confusing Christmas Eve with what date people give and receive their Christmas presents.

Christmas Eve is of course always the 24th, but in Sweden, that's also the day for presents, whereas people in the UK get their gifts on the 25th of December, which is Christmas Day. In Spain, if I'm not mistaken, Christmas gifts are exchanged at the 7th of January.

You see, Sabbe-chan? The dates remain the same all over the world, but the date for presents varies.

maybe she meant the day... not date.. for example:

philippines: (2006)
 dec 24 = sunday
 dec 25 = monday

sweden (just an EXAMPLE)
 dec 24 = monday
 dec 25 = tuesday

is that what you meant sabbe-san?

Christmas Eve is always on the 24th of December...

Christmas Day is always on the 25th of December...

It matters not where in the world you're at or what day of the week those date falls on, it's one and the same everywhere. It's the natural order of things in this crazy, wonderful world :)
