In reply to Zack Katz.

First of all, Christmas is on December 25 technically speaking.
Though, technically speaking when it is December 25 in Auckland New Zealand...in Toronto, Canada it is still December 24 (18 hour difference).

Anyways....No one celebrates Christmas on December 24. Technically speaking December 24 is Christmas Eve, not really a holiday.

Next Orthdox/Eastern Christmas is January 7.

Just like I don't celebrate Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and so forth holidays. I don't celebrate Geographical holidays and so forth.

If a release of WP, BP, or whatever else in the WP universe.......comes out on a holiday for you...update the next day.

Just like if I am on Christmas holiday somewhere in a cottage/airbnb during the week of December 24-ish...I'll update when I get back.

Also, don't so many people have automatic updates? so the release date does not really matter, does it?
