I support the right of other religions to call their celebration something else. Whatever. <br /><br />I agree with you that there are way more important things in the world to rage against than Christmas. Just let everyone call their holiday whatever the hell they want and get to worrying about things that actually matter, that's what I say. <br /><br />And the only Jesus I know comes from Cancun! :)VEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704685920354554043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682036990627515116.post-56823184261929078982010-12-09T11:42:34.008-05:002010-12-09T11:42:34.008-05:00Except... y'know it's probably not really...Except... y'know it's probably not really Jesus's birthday, cus his real birthday was probably sometime in February or March and the early Church simply co-opted the existing pagan holidays of the time (e.g. Winter Solstice, Yule, Saturnalia). In fact for most of Christian history, Christmas wasn't even especially celebrated until the Charles Dickens and the Victorians turned it from a holiday of basically feasting and debauchery to one of gift giving and good will to mankind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
