The "eve" count might be off by one or two. I used 365. Blacksilver (talk) 05:40, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Correct would be 364. Except in leap years. 162.158.90.90 09:23, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

In Germany, Christmas happens on Christmas Eve, so Cueball would be saying "eve" forever and just refer to the same date every time. "Heiligabend abends" is occasionally used to say the evening of 24th (the time of presents) and in northern Germany you sometimes say "Heiligtag", meaning "holy day" instead of "holy evening". 162.158.90.90 09:23, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
