Re: Why December 25th?

Isn't it common knowledge that, when converting other cultures, Christians, instead of elimiating, simply adopted the local customs and doctored them up into their own?

Unfortunately, common knowledge is not that common in some christian communities.

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.

Re: Why December 25th?
It seems Jesus IS the reason for the season. Look around Taq.

Just saw a tree with decorations and some holly. Yep, still pagan.
