I think the sentiment towards Christmas in Latvia can be just about summed up by a conversation we had last night while playing poker in Pēteris' basement:
Pēteris: (looking at the clock; it's midnight) Hey look it's Christmas!
Everone: Yay it's Christmas! Let's all kiss.
Pēteris: Wait, is Christmas the 24th or the 25th?
Ansis: It's the 25th.
Pēteris: Well then it doesn't count, it's just Christmas eve.
Ansis: So?
(Everyone continues the poker game for a while. A few people lose and are out of the game, and a few people go home)
Martiņš: (leaving) So, we're drinking tomorrow?
