And what else is new? Most of us who actually study the bible and Christian history already know that Christ was not born on Dec. 25. And yes, we know that the old pope made it that date to purposely interfere with the Winter Solstice, because people generally practice a mixture of religions, and the Catholics couldn't stand thatn. So what? This has become the day we celebrate Christ's birth.

That's called a commemoration. A day set aside to remember. And that is what we like to do!
