can you tell me what difference is between "coming up" and "coming around" when talking about events or things that are going to take place or happen? Do you use them with the same meaning or is there a distinction?

For istance, in this:
Christmas is coming up.
Christmas is coming around.
The lecture is coming up.
The lecture is coming around.

Of course I'd like to know the difference between them not only in these two cases I have written but also in other sort of contexts.
Thank you very much. ]]> English Phrasal Verbs dilodi83 http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/english-phrasal-verbs/191072-coming-up-vs-coming-around.html http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/english-phrasal-verbs/190454-get-what.html Mon, 06 May 2013 20:48:35 GMT Hello everyone, my name is Boris. I'm new user here and I have a question :-D.
Sometimes I can hear a phrasal verb "get by", my translator ABBYY lingvo can translate it, but I think it's a incorrect, because it says "get by" = "admissible". Someone can help me with it?)
