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.

What about christmas Lilith?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

She arrives if and when she pleases

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

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