The Bible doesn't say when Christ was born, and while it is true that the winter solstice was chosen, it is NOT the reason MOST people celebrate the season.

Whether I like it or not! Thanks for that. Well, Some of Us are still not at all certain whether We celebrate or not........let alone what for or when. The Church, as I suspect you already know, still maintains that Easter is of greater significance than Christmas regardless of whose birthday was when.....which, not so incidentally, biblical scholars do in fact enjoy some degree of consensus on, for reasons we won't tax Davie's limited comprehension with. That said, I'm with You; I like the solstice for pretty much the same reasons as virtually Everybody else......regardless of what They may THINK Their reasons are. :) May your days wax progressively longer this holiday season......and then some. Wolfgang and be nice to me.......i still got a list......well, half of one anyway.....and i ain't afraid to use it. :( |
