It always cracks me up when christians claim that Jesus is the "Reason for the Season". If we really went to the source, paganism is the "Reason for the Season". Just tell one of the Christmas defenders that and watch their feathers ruffle.
Sorry Taq, no one's ruffles are getting feathered. It was of pagen origin, who cares. Everyone knows dude. The Christians thought they would spice things up some and create a holiday along side the pagen one with the good news of the birth of Jesus and add some hope to a dying world. Mission accomplished ehe?
It seems Jesus IS the reason for the season. Look around Taq.
