Christmas Eve begins at sundown on the evening of December 24th and lasts until midnight. It's a time for celebrating with family and friends, enjoying festive meals, exchanging gifts, and sharing stories of the year gone by. It's also a time for reflecting on the season's spirit of generosity and goodwill, and for making wishes for the future. On Christmas Eve, many people also leave treats out for Santa Claus and his reindeer, hoping to get an extra special present in return. It's a magical time of year, filled with joy and wonder.
