    You ever see how much meat they get off a cow?

    Yes, we usually get just 1/8 of a cow for christmas and even that lasts longer than just christmas.

        Well our christmas lasts 3 days, basically. Gifts are given on the evening of the 24th, then there’s the 25 and 26ths for just chilling with the family and enjoying arguments in 150db. On the 24th, we have fondue, and the 25 and 26ths are the days for “Sauerbraten”, basically a huge chunk of beef (the majority of 1/8 cow) pickled in vegetables, raisins, wine and vinegar, multiple liters of each, for a month. Then it’s slowly cooked until it basically deconstructs itself on your fork, and is served with its sauce. So it’s designed to last for 2 days, for around 4-6 people. Leftovers get frozen, and it’s a nice treat after a long schoolday, or workday now.

          Oh, you mean Christmas eve.

          then there’s the 25

          Yes, Christmas.

          and 26ths for just chilling with the family and enjoying arguments in 150db.

          …somehow you lumped the spirit of Thanksgiving into all this, without the turkey! If you’re going to have loud drunken political and/or racist fights with your family, you’re supposed to have turkey first!!! And it’s like a month before Christmas as it’s own seperate day!

          Now historically that would be followed by driving to the mall, and waiting in freezing tempatures to be herded like cattle into a store at midnight to do some holiday shopping.

          But between global warming, and the rise of amazon, that happens less and less the last 10 years.

            Luckily it’s not a racist or political debate, but not only does my family like to argue over anything, they’re also very loud and always take the word.

            And idfk which day has which name in every country.
