Hello everyone,
Are the uses of "a long time from" below idiomatic/common? If not, what do you suggest? Please take a look.
a. Our celebration is a long time from Christmas so it's possible to prepare everything as they will only come here at Christmas.
b. Brazilian Carnival is a long time from Independence Day. I think we'll be able to organize and plan things well.
Meaning intended: separated by a large time distance, nowhere near.
Thank you in advance!
