Yes you hear it right there are people believing december 24 is christmas. The truth is we celebrate Christmas eve at 12 o'clock am of december 25 and christmas is really on december 25. Other people are celebrating Christmas on december 24th and rest the next day.

Well some people live in different time zones, depending on where you live. . .in some parts of the world, it already *is* Christmas, when it is still the 24th for countries like the U.S. I believe New Zealand and the islands surrounding it is one of the first countries to celebrate Christmas in their time zones first lol.

I don't really know. The only thing I know is that December is the most expensive month because of the tradition. But, if you don't follow tradition, this is just an ordinary or let say Family day.

It is the most expensive month certainly yes it's because businessmen knows that people has lots of money so businessmen increase the prices of goods and since demand is high so is the price. That's marketing strategy.

yeah you're damn right pal. That's really the reality here in the Philippines, people are all showing that the 24th is the Christmas day and not the 25th. And that on the daytime of the 25th (not the 12:00+ am) the ambience is so serene like it's not a Christmas day. People are almost all asleep or just resting.

Today is december 25 and just noticed that people are all resting and so quiet in here. I think today is the right time to celebrate not to rest or sleep.
