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.

Mayday!

"Hooray hooray its the first of May
Outdoor screwing begins today".

Or is that just a Norwegian thing?

g.c.

Who wishes people good-bye even though he doesn't necessarily think
that God will be with them and who goes to work on Thursday with very
seldom a thought to Thor and who bets that when the Brits go on
holiday they spend very little of it praying.
