During one of the darkest moments of the American Revolution, Gen. George Washington led his army over the frozen Delaware River on the evening of December 25, 1776. The famous Crossing of the Delaware led to the Battle of Trenton and a string of victories that revived the cause.
The Battle of Trenton was operationally executed between the 25 to 26 of December 1776. This involved Washington crossing the Delaware River from Pennsylvania to New Jersey to raid the Hessian mercenary garrison. It is regarded as an American victory.

Do not trust me completely on this, because it is only an educated guess, but on December 25, 800, Charlemagne was crowned "Emperor of the Romans" by the pope. That's simply the only thing I know that happened in 800 and I vaguely remember reading that it happened on Christmas day. But I don't think that Christmas was in December then. It was on January 6.
He was executed with his wife on Christmas day.
Any day with "Eve" in it means "The evening before the day of the event". Therefore, it's not technically Christmas Eve until the evening of December 24, the evening before Christmas Day (Dec. 25).
