Talk:December 26

Christmas
there is a disagreement on this page about whether Dec 26 is the first or second day of christmas. in my mind it makes sense that it is the 2nd day...can someone explain to me why some say it is the first? Kingturtle 15:15, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Fix needed
Re: "Second day of Christmas in Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Suriname and Scandinavia - a holiday without work. The celebration is more or less the same as first day of Christmas, including the option going to Mass." Could someone fix this who knows about Dec. 26? Denmark, Scandanavia, Netherlands, and parts of Germany are protestant. While Lutherans may have kept the Mass, I never knew of a Lutheran who said they were going to mass. Other protestant religions have not kept the mass. I would fix this, but I don't know the proper answer. 99.145.23.242 (talk) 01:50, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think this should also be fixed. In the heading it says'There are five remaining until the end of the year.' It makes it sound like there are 5 26ths of Decembers left. I think it meant 5 days. :)195.49.180.146 (talk) 10:09, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It clearly says and has always said "There are five days remaining until the end of the year." -- Drappel (talk) 12:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I just fixed that in response to this user's note. I just forgot to leave a reply.  There was a template problem for dates from December 22-29.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 12:16, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Then my apologies to the IP as well, I looked at the IP's talk page and suspected he/she had invented a new sort of talk page vandalism, it never dawned on me that the underlying template might have changed. I obviously need fresh coffee. -- Drappel (talk) 12:40, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

2004 Tsunami not included
The 2004 Earthquake-Tsunami, which killed 2,30,000 people, is not included in 'Selected aniversaries'. Somebody please correct this glaring omission. (And no, it is not because the relevant article is small, 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami is 86,850 bytes long as of 06:02, 27 December 2014‎.)

Twelve Days of Christmas
Dear John,

When I answered the door today the postman left me another gift from you. Just imagine, not one... but TWO turtledoves! I am delighted with your thoughtful gift. They are absolutely adorable.

With deepest love and affection,

Not surprised Czechia got changed back
I am not surprised it was changed back from to but isn't it funny how the short form can be used for all except Czechia.
 * "St. Stephen's Day (public holiday in Alsace, Austria, Catalonia, Croatia, Czechia, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and Switzerland), and its related observances: "
 * St. Stephen's Day (public holiday in Alsace, Austria, Catalonia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and Switzerland), and its related observances:


 * It's not about long or short form, it's about the term that is most commonly used, which as far as I can tell is "the Czech Republic". Mikenorton (talk) 17:13, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
