I work for a church. Internally, the staff refer to the December 23rd service as "Christmas Adam" because Adam came before Eve. They think it's hilarious... and I put up with it.

That is legitimately clever

What about christmas Lilith?

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

They got rid of it. Some even claim Christmas Lilith never existed in the first place.

Or as we call it in Norwegian:

  • Teensy tiny Christmas Eve
  • Little Christmas Eve
  • Christmas Eve. Or just Christmas!
  • The first Christmas-day, or recovery day
[–] Taalen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

In Finnish we just legit have a word for eve's eve (aatonaatto), although it's usually only used at Christmas.

[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

And on this Christmas Eve Eve, just what the fuck is wrong with that?

[–] Antium@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tibb's Eve is what we call it here.
