I work for a church. Internally, the staff refer to the December 23rd service as "Christmas Adam" because Adam came before Eve. They think it's hilarious... and I put up with it.

They got rid of it. Some even claim Christmas Lilith never existed in the first place.

Or as we call it in Norwegian:

  • Teensy tiny Christmas Eve
  • Little Christmas Eve
  • Christmas Eve. Or just Christmas!
  • The first Christmas-day, or recovery day

In Finnish we just legit have a word for eve's eve (aatonaatto), although it's usually only used at Christmas.
