Christmas Eve is December 24, the day before Christmas. It is not one of the 11 federal holidays under 5 U.S.C. 6103, so it never moves to a Friday or Monday.
Frequently asked questions
How many days until Christmas Eve?
The countdown at the top of this page shows the exact number of days until Christmas Eve, counted from today in your time zone, with a live clock, the weeks and the workdays left. It updates every day.
How many weeks until Christmas Eve?
Divide the days by 7: the page shows it as weeks and days, for example “11 weeks and 1 day”, and as a decimal.
How many Fridays until Christmas Eve?
The countdown counts the Fridays after today and before the day itself. If you are paid weekly on Fridays, each one is a payday; on a biweekly schedule, about half of them are.
Is Christmas Eve a federal holiday?
No. It is not on the list of federal holidays. In some years the President has given federal employees the day off by executive order, and many private employers close early or for the day — check your employer’s holiday schedule.
How many sleeps until Christmas Eve?
The same as the number of days in the countdown: each night is one sleep.
