The only reason Christmas is celebrated now is because the pagans already had festivals this time of year to celebrate the lengthening of the days. To think that Christ was actually born at this time of year is stupid.

Hence why I acknowlege Christ's birth in October during the Jewish festival of Sukkot, which is much more likely the time of Christ's birth.

I still celebrate the rituals of Christmas with my family and respect that they are acknowledging the Incarnation; whether it is the correct date is really irrelevant as I am more concerned with matters of the heart than of the mind in this instance (note, no one I know, except for some children, actually thinks Christ was born on December 25).

I read this and though factually true I thought buckeyegrad was going to get all deep on us and kill this fine thread....lol J/K

Yeah, people have been saying Happy Holidays for years, but now if you do some rightwing dumbass will boycott your store because he thinks your being PC. Maybe Happy Holidays is more appropriate since we are celebrating 2 holidays, Christmas and New Years. The only reason Christmas is celebrated now is because the pagans already had festivals this time of year to celebrate the lengthening of the days. To think that Christ was actually born at this time of year is stupid.
