Hello there,
I am not a teacher but according to me the correct answer is "TILL" - in the sense: till (untill) the Christmas comes.

Academic
But you have only six week before/till the Christmas, so are you intending to work day and night to finish it?
Is this sentence correct?
Do we say till or before?![]()

Hello emsr2d2,
are you sure about the spelling of "til"? I counsulted serveral dictionaries (Cambridge etc.) and all of them show the spelling as "TILL" (double l).
Thank you!

Usage Note: Till and until are generally interchangeable in both writing and speech, though as the first word in a sentence until is usually preferred: Until you get that paper written, don't even think about going to the movies. · Till is actually the older word, with until having been formed by the addition to it of the prefix un-, meaning "up to." In the 18th century the spelling 'till became fashionable, as if till were a shortened form of until. Although 'till is now nonstandard, 'til is sometimes used in this way and is considered acceptable, though it is etymologically incorrect.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
THANX A LOT
I don't know what we did before we had the Internet to answer these questions for us. I'm a reformed 'til user myself.
