It's 17 Dec 1950... your a bit early
what are you talking about? when do you start saying merry christmas in real life? I'm like a week before christmas
plus, if we want to really talk about it - we will need a few hours. Soon it will already be the 20th of december and people are definitely saying "merry christmas" by then.
Oh - and since the game month will end at 24 December
that means in 7 hours it will be January 1951

edit: by the way, it's "you're a bit early"
