Q: What did Adam say on the day before Christmas?
A: It's Christmas, Eve!



This is a pun. Eve is the name of the person that he was speaking to, but also the word eve means the day before something. The ambiguity of the pun is where the humor comes from, since he could be saying "Hey Eve, it is Christmas." (which would be technically incorrect), or he could be saying "It is the day before Christmas."
