What is the difference between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?

1. The time is different. Christmas refers to December 25th, and Christmas Eve refers to December 24th, which is the eve of Christmas, called Christmas Eve, also known as Christmas Eve. So Christmas Eve is the day before Christmas, the two are different.
2. Different activities. Christmas Eve activities are held on the night of December 24. Family members from all over the world will gather together for a party or gathering, sing Christmas songs around the Christmas tree, eat Christmas dinner, and then share what they see and hear with each other and express their longing for each other. On Christmas Eve, parents in every family will prepare gifts and put them in their children’s Christmas stockings, waiting for the children to wake up and open the gifts.
Christmas activities last for the entire day on December 25th. This day is usually the day for children to exchange Christmas presents and send Christmas cards to their friends. On Christmas Day the dinner will be more sumptuous, with pork, roast turkey, log cake, almond pudding, gingerbread and so on. On Christmas Day, people also go to Christian churches for special worship ceremonies.
3. Different origins
The origin of Christmas: Christmas was established to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Christmas in the Bible is the birthday of Jesus and originated from Christianity.
It is said that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. God also sent the angel Gabriel to tell Joseph in a dream that he should not abandon Mary because she was pregnant out of wedlock, but should marry her and name the child "Jesus", meaning that he would save the people from sin.
When Mary was about to give birth, the Roman government issued an order that all people must go to Bethlehem to register their household registration. Joseph and Mary had no choice but to obey. When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark. Unfortunately, the two of them could not find a hotel to stay in, so there was only a stable where they could stay temporarily. At this time, Jesus was about to be born. So Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger. In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations set December 25 as Christmas and attend mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
The origin of Christmas Eve: Legend has it that on the night before Jesus was born, shepherds who were watching the sheep in the wilderness suddenly heard a voice from heaven telling them the news of Jesus' birth. According to the Bible, Jesus came to the world to be the king of the world and to be believed by everyone, so the angels spread the message to more people through these shepherds. Then more people knew that Jesus was about to be born.
Later, people imitated this angel and publicized the date of Jesus' birth everywhere. So people spread the news of Jesus' birth everywhere on Christmas Eve. Until today, it has evolved into the activity of announcing the good news. This activity was gradually passed down, and gradually became what people call Christmas Eve, so the night of December 24 is traditionally called "Christmas Eve.
