Encode a date in Christmas Eve format

Your job is to take a date and encode it in Christmas Eve format.




  • If your program is run on Christmas, it should output the string "Christmas".

  • If your program is not run on Christmas, it should output the string "Christmas", followed by the string " Eve" repeated n times, where n is the number of days until Christmas.


    • Note that this must be based on the next Christmas. For example, if the day is April 26, 2019, you must do your calculation based on December 25, 2019, not any other Christmas.

    • Remember to count leap days.



  • Christmas is December 25th of every year.


This is code-golf, so the shortest code wins! Note though that the goal is not to find the shortest program in any language, but to find the shortest program in every particular language. For example, if you find the shortest C++ program, then it wins this contest for C++, even if someone finds a shorter program in Python.

function(x,z=as.Date(paste0(strtoi(format(x,"%Y"))+0:1,"-12-25"))-x)cat("Christmas",rep("Eve",z[z>=0][1]))


Try it online!



Explanation: everyone's at church so I have time to do this. Extract the year, coerce to integer. Make vector of that year's Xmas and the next year's Xmas and subtract the input date to get a vector of two differences between the input date and those two Xmases.



Pick the non-negative one and cat "Christmas" with that many "Eves".

If this is an answer to a challenge…




  • …Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.


  • …Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one.
    Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.


  • …Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.



More generally…




  • …Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.


  • …Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).






Some of your past answers have not been well-received, and you're in danger of being blocked from answering.


Please pay close attention to the following guidance:


  • Please be sure to answer the question. Provide details and share your research!

But avoid …



  • Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers.

  • Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience.
