Dec 24 in the evening, i.e. the evening before Christ's official birthday. I'm not sure, but I think this tendency to celebrate evenings prior to religious holidays, is somehow connected to the old definitions of days based on the Sun rising and setting, i.e. the Dec 25 was thought to begin at sun down Dec 24.
