Blasphemy!
It is blasphemy to call any celebration that is to occur in a matter of days a "midwinter" one since, here in mighty Wisconsin, WE HAVE NO GODDAMNED SNOW YET!!! What is solstice/christmas/whatever without bloody snow?????? This is preposterous!

Re: Why December 25th?
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.
So you are proud of the fact that they lied about the birth of a mythical creature in order to steal pagan tradition? Wow the amazing mental gymnastics it must take to be a christian.
It seems Jesus IS the reason for the season.
For deluded christians, perhaps. but for the rest of us it has become a matter of tradition. No mystical zombies who require constant praise necessary.

Re: Happy Holidays celebrates ALL beliefs and traditions.
Curiously, I don't see that the "War on Christmas" is about defending the crass and rampant commercialism.
Of course not. It's about christians trying to lay claim to the time of year, crying about "taking jesus out of christmas" which was born out of people trying to more inclusive by saying "Happy Holidays" instead of Merry Christmas because this particular time of year signifies more than just the christian christmas. It us once again brought on by the christian persecution complex. FSM forbid we don't give christians special treatment and are inclusive of other traditions or cultures, that would be un-christian....
