Not being a jerk, (at least not on purpose), but doing some reading suggests Jesus was born in September. I have also not figured out how/why Easter moves around the calendar; actually I do know the half dozen reasons 'why' it flexes the date so much.

NEway, Happy Holidays to all the gang here, regardless of one's convictions, beliefs, or feelings. And, keep shopping: our US GDP depends on the WalmartNation spending, even if they are in debt to their eyeballs, and that unfortunately, is what 'Christmas' is to many people of any/whatever conviction.

You are looking at old world dictionary, not the current politically correct dictionary.
Some forces are working on renaming 'Christmas' to something more politically correct. Either that or we will have a holiday season every month.


You know that Halloween, Valentine day and few more were invented by corporate America to boost sales?

Happy Holidays!

Thanks everyone. Interesting answers to say the least.
The Christmas I remember as a youth no longer exist.
