And you are presumably in continental Europe, where Christmas is celebrated on the 24th! Of course in the USA, it’s celebrated on the 25th.
One of those things that severely confuses people that aren’t aware of it.

(Pliny was an amateur - there's still plenty of land to the north; perhaps that counts as Ultima non plus ultra Thule or something?) Anyway, adding to the confusion are the Russian orthodox church - they celebrate Christmas January 7th, as they haven't gotten around to adopting the Gregorian calendar just yet.
