You're Finnish (assuming your profile tells the truth) why are you opening presents already.

Should be those damned Australians making threads like this.

What you mean?

24.12.2009 19:38 here.

Because Christmas Day is on the 25th, and you are detailing your presents as if you had opened them.

I don't know what I have missed but in Finland its 24 day when you do traditional things of Christmas (precents,food etc)..

24th is Christmas Eve, 25th is Christmas day.... I don't suppose it really makes any difference, but is it different in Finland?

Or is it just different custom, as in you still class 25th as Christmas day, but you open presents etc on Christmas eve?

In Lithuania, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Estonia, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Colombia and the Dominican Republic, among others, this is the day that presents are exchanged and opened. In some of these countries, presents are delivered to children by Santa Claus, personified by an adult dressed up as Santa who comes knocking on the door.

Don't you learn something like that in school ?

Ye, its a well known fact that the date was pulled out of somebodies arse so it doen't really matter which day it is celebrated.

Do I learn about why the UK celebrates Christmas a day later than mainland Europe in school... no, or at least not to my memory (I was a good student, but really did not give a toss about Religious Education, which is the only lesson I would think something like that that might be incorporated into... though RE lessons never had much about Christianity in them anyway)

At home (as in when I was a small child) I, and I presume most of the UK, are taught that Santa Claus/Father Christmas delivers presents on the night of Christmas eve.... so when I was about 4-5 and went to bed at 7-8pm on the 24th, it was between then and when I woke up on the 25th that presents are "delivered"
