for some countries, they do Christmas Day on the 24th. Poland for instance tends to have the big family get together dinner on the 24th.
It’s the same in Denmark, I wonder if it’s a Northern European thing? I think Poland is mostly Catholic whereas Denmark is Lutheran protestant, so it’s not just denomination.
I had a friend about 25 years ago who was very much into Quake Arena. His gaming setup ran on BSD. Now that I’ve been gaming on Linux for several years, I’ve really come to appreciate how much work it must have been to get that setup running smoothly in the late 90s. He died a couple of years ago. I sometimes wish I could call him up and get some advice.
