Christmas in Slovakia is celebrated on Christmas Eve, which is on December 24th, not 25th.
You would say that Christmas starts on 24/25 Dec. But that's not entirely true for Slovakia. Because most of the Slovaks are Christians, our Christmas starts 4 weeks ago, to be more exact 4 Sundays before the actual Christmas eve. This period is called Advent.

Vast majority in Dec 24th except for the orthodox Christians in the northeast, they celebrate Christmas on 6th of Jan.
