Christmas will come on a Wednesday. So, is this coming weekend Christmas weekend? Or the weekend following Christmas? Is there even such a thing as Christmas weekend?
Turning to ChatGPT, here's what we learned...
> Yes, "Christmas Weekend" is a term often used to refer to the days surrounding Christmas, typically including Christmas Eve (December 24) and Christmas Day (December 25), and sometimes extending through the weekend if Christmas falls near the end of the week.
For example, if Christmas falls on a Friday, Christmas Weekend would usually start on Friday and run through Sunday, including the days before and after Christmas. It can be seen as a time for people to celebrate the holiday, spend time with family, and enjoy festive activities. Some people also use the term more informally to describe the entire period leading up to and immediately after Christmas.
In 2024, for instance, Christmas Day falls on a Wednesday, meaning the "Christmas Weekend" might be considered as starting from Friday, December 21, and extending through Sunday, December 23. Similarly, if Christmas Day falls closer to a weekend (like in 2023), people might use the term to refer to a longer period of celebration that extends through the weekend. <
Oh. So Christmas Weekend starts tomorrow which happens also to be the Winter Solstice! Wow! All this and drones too!
