Default Merry Christmas!

In article ,
says...
Some would say "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays", but if there
was no Christmas I really don't think there would be any widely popular
holidays in December at all. So much for a season of them.


Time to brush up on your cause and effect.....

Christmas is in December because christians attempted (succeeded in?) to
steal the highly popular pagan winter solstice festivals. Which is why
we have christmas trees and yule logs.

BTW, all the best holidays came from the pagans. Easter, Christmas,
Halloween.
