圣誕前夕著名的原因

   Why is the day before Christmas, Christmas Eve, celebrated?

      Christmas Eve is a big deal for religious reasons, such as the midnight mass, and also for retail reasons. 1867 was the first year that Macy's department store in New York City remained open until midnight on Christmas Eve.

A HowStuffWorks reader was also kind enough to point out the following: "All Jewish holidays start at sundown the evening before (not at calendar midnight). Our holidays start with ceremony the evening before: rituals, candle-lighting, whatever... at sundown and they last until the following sundown, and then they're over."

圣誕節(jié)前一天——圣誕前夕著名的原因

    圣誕前夕是一個重大的節(jié)日，是有神圣的理由的，像午夜聚會和商品零售原因。1867年是紐約市麥西百貨公司的第一年（第一位）。一位HowStuffWorks的讀者也十分親切的指出：“所有的猶太節(jié)日是從節(jié)日前一天的傍晚（而不是歷法上的午夜）開始的。我們的節(jié)日典禮在前一天傍晚開始：儀式，燭光……不論什么都是從黃昏開始一直持續(xù)到第二天黃昏，然后結(jié)束。”
