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 7 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 2 months ago

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

[–] iconherder@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I feel personally attacked

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

Tibb's Eve is what we call it here.
