Christmas Eve is the 24th. Christmas is the 25th and 26th.

I don't know how it could be different for anyone else? (unless of course you mean you celebrated it on a different day)

I totally agree on the 24th being Christmas eve.
However, Christmas is only a single day holiday in my neck of the woods: The 25th of December.

Holidays internationally differ quite largely from time-to-time, however, I do find it interesting that something as universally celebrated as Christmas (having lost most religious ties and taken in as a Holiday by those who subscribe to the Christian faith and some who do not as well), differs in tradition!

That really is quite strange indeed.

But I guess that's not really all that important. It's all good as long as everyone has a good time, right? :)

I got nothing :(

Well, I bought myself a bottle of Bacardi Limón (which is really good by the way!) if that counts :?

We don't do Christmas presents. It's not as usual in Holland as it is in other countries because we already have Sinterklaas the 5th of December :)

There are still some people who also give presents with Christmas though, but we don't.

Fair enough.

I got a D3100. Pretty happy with it, so (like all good presents) I spent the past 2 days solidly working with it.

Over 420 photos taken. 2 that i like. yes, 2.

here they are though, and im pretty happy with them tbh.

First ever photo taken (which i liked) - actually was photo 117

Was photo 329. The effect on this one is Bokeh. Yes, it's supposed to be blurry. :P
