  Halloween is celebrated more than All Saints Day. Not a secular holiday though.

  May I direct your attention to All Hallows Day, celebrated on 1 November? >
  
  Oh shit you’re right >
  
  another one is chistmas >
  
  No
  Edit: Read some comments, guess it is celebrated differently in other places. Forgive my ignorance. >
  
  No. Repent. >
  
  Some countries celebrate on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day. They open their presents and have the big dinner on the Eve. >
  
  That's the way it is in my country and I actually found weird how in movies people go to sleep and celebrate Christmas after waking up >
  
  See my family we do wake up and celebrate Christmas in the morning. You know that’s when Santa delivers the gifts at night and then you wake up to the gifts that Santa delivered. That’s just the way that I grew up. But I do definitely see the point of celebrating the night before as well. I guess it’s all just sort of what you’ve been taught as a kid or what y ou are used to. >
  
  In Norway, julenissen (santa) delivers the gifts in person on Christmas eve. >
  
  In Denmark, Santa isn't a Nisse, he is just "the Christmas man"(Julemanden). Same in German. >
  
  In Finland and in the other nordic countries we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve much more than the actual day >
  
  Hi neighbor >
  
  Hej på dig med granne >
  
  Finlandssvensk eller du minns fortfarande svenskan från skolan så bra? För visst är fortfarande svenska obligatoriskt i skolan för er? >
  
  Ja är finlandssvensk, o jo, svenska måste man fortfarande lära sig i skolan men de flesta finskspråkiga bryr sig int alls om det >
  
  Not true globally. In many countries Christmas Eve is the bigger celebration. >
  
  Looking at the answers, it seems that most people who celebrate Christmas at all, celebrate Christmas Eve more. >
  
  Easily in fact, because of population powerhouses like Brazil celebrating on the 24th.
  OP gives a fine example of r/USdefaultism >
  
  Except plenty of people in the U.S celebrate on Christmas Eve as well. >
  
  Sure, but as far as I can tell it's not nearly universal & usually a limited family tradition if it is celebrated on the 24th. Among those who celebrate on the 25th, the vast majority of them are American. >
  
  I’ll have you know I celebrate NYD with a hangover every year. It’s tradition. >
  
  Lies. In Sweden we celebrate Xmas eve. The day after is just the day after. In fact, we always celebrate the eve. >
  
  Latinoamerika gör samma sak--lätt mer folk som firar på den 24e.
  r/USDefaultism at play >
  
  people literally sit there counting down the seconds until they can celebrate it wdym >
  
  At least in my experience it’s “let’s get drunk and then count down until 11:00 pm and then let’s go to bed” maybe that’s just me though >
  
  Is the extra hour really that much of a struggle? >
  
  The one extra, not so much. It's the 3 extra hours and 5 extra drinks before that last hour. >
  
  Most Jewish holidays. Chanukah, Passover, a case could be made for Yom Kippur (based on sheer service attendance). >
  
  Hmm, not quite – days in the Hebrew calendar change over at sunset, so once nighttime services start on, say, Yom Kippur, that's not really the "eve" anymore. Yom Kippur starts at sundown and ends some time after the next sundown – basically independent of solar midnight. That said, the erev chagim have their own mix of customs that are, while probably not as notable, definitely interesting in their own right – e.g. asking for forgiveness from friends on erev Yom Kippur. >
  
  That's because New Years day is reserved for praying over the sacred porcelain bowl.... >
  
  Debatable. In Latin-America December 24th is celebrated harder than December 25th. >
  
  Most of Europe does so too. Easily more people celebrate on the 24th.
  r/USdefaultism at play. >
  
  Hispanic Christmas happens on Christmas Eve mostly, the 25th is the recovery day. >
  
  Most of Europe, including Germany, do this too. r/USdefaultism >
  
  A large amount of the celebrations are after midnight, so they are on New Year's Day. >
  
  Wow, congrats on one very stupid post. >
  
  These are shower thoughts, they should be allowed to be stupid. >
  
  We don't do Christmas we only celebrate Christmas Eve and stay up all night. And open presents during the night. Maybe some families do Christmas lunch, but that is a bit rare,
  Maybe it has to do with the summer weather which makes us want to be more active during the night, go out and celebrate more. >
  
  Technicaly u celebrate the day as as soon as it hits 00:00 its new years day >
  
  in my country we celebrate christmas eve and like the first hour of christmas opening the presents and the rest is just a regular day >
  
  Actually, technically New Year’s Eve is celebrated up to New Year’s Day for most people, so you technically celebrate both at the same time >
  
  But if you have a New Years party, it might start at 8-10pm (2-4 hours on the eve) and go until 1-2am (1-2 hours on the day)...so a majority of the celebration is on the eve. >
  
  In some places Christmas also. Where I live we celebrate on the 24th at night >
  
  Also Christmas. And some others I don't remember. There is a reason for this: In the bible, the day starts at the evening. All Jewish holidays start on the evening before. Some Christian holidays work the same, like Christmas. >
  
  I'd say only 10P.M to 2A.M is celebrated. That's me and mine though. >
  
  In my country, we celebrate the fourth of July more in the evening, in my opinion. All the fireworks. >
  
  yeah, but the eve of the fourth of July is the third, not the late fourth :) >
  
  Parades, tons of football games as people celebrate the new year, etc. that last the majority of New Year’s Day. 
  New Year’s Eve parties typically last a few hours before midnight…. Think you need to go back to the shower and think some more 😂 >
  
  I have a coworker that admitted to trying to snipe eve slots for shifts so she could get out of working holidays but her dumbass self forgot you actually do the partying on NYE so she's trying to get out of it currently. Jokes on her everyone else has plans and if she calls in she's written up. >
  
  20 bucks says she calls off anyways. >
  
  Not really.  Most of my important traditions came before Christmas, and some after.  The day of wasn't all that much. >
  
  The celebration takes place at 12:00 the first minute of New Year’s Day, not eve >
  
  Technically, Halloween (or All Hallows Eve) is actually the day before  All Saints Day >
  
  There are many Jewish holiday we’re the “Eve” is more important. Probably should have checked that out before posting a bunch of silliness. >
  
  I mean, I hear in Japan you celebrate Christmas eve more than the actual day. 
  Although additional shower thought: New Years is the only holiday where the celebration and the actual holiday never happen on the same year. (For obvious reasons)
