Erev Yom Kippur? Erev Shabbat every week?

Notice that all the ones that do have Eves are religious in origin (New Years being timed to Jesus's bris). I suspect it's at least partially a holdover from the Jewish tradition of holidays beginning at sundown the night before.

Heheh, I love the subversiveness in so much being attributable to the jews. And it secretly and subtlely pleases me no end that the uber-celebration of Christmas is due to 30% jew, 60% pagan and 10% christian.


But, huh ... New Year's is timed to the Bris of Jesus??!?!? Please tell me you just made that up!

Lol, I'm supposing he was being facetious, as historically, Jesus couldn't have been born anywhere near December. Very funny though.
