Please help settle a family argument which is getting bigger by the minute! I just said that last year our supermarket opened at one minute past midnight on christmas eve so that people could get their shopping early, and they said that one minute past midnight christmas eve would acually be christmas day! I'm so annoyed lol! Please somebody back me up! To try and help them understand, I said "so are you telling me that when it gets to 00:01 tonight it doesn't become Sunday 21st december?" It didn't help though! Thank you in advance X
So... would saying 'one minute past 12am on Christmas Eve' been a better way of putting it? Or is that just the same as saying one minute past midnight?
If I'd have said one minute past the midnight OF Christmas Eve, that would have been wrong, but the way I said it surely is right. Thanks to all who agree lol.
I don't quite get you!
Your question asks would one minute past midnight on xmas eve be xmas day? YES!
and when its one minute past midnight tonight no it won't be Sunday it will be Monday!
when talking about the supermarket opening earlier you should have said it opened at one minute past midnight on the day before xmas eve or to put it better it opened the very first minute of xmas eve.
God I'm confused now!
think maybe people getting confused cos when you say christmas eve you think of the evening. one minute past midnight on christmas eve is christmas eve and stays that way til the following midnight when it then becomes a new day - christmas day as i think someone else has said.
