Nope, the first one was the pagan celebration of the winter solstice. Do some research before making statements.I know that church leaders decided to make the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at this time of year to overshadow the pagan celebrations at the time when most people believe that Jesus was most likely born in the summer months or around March or April. But I don't think the pagan celebrations would have turned into a major holiday season like this Christmas, although I'll admit I don't know how big of a deal it was. But not too many celebrate it anymore. But my point is that we should not sensor something which is the primary reason for the holiday season and that is a national holiday. The fact that the holiday is based on Jesus simply makes it that much worse that the state is celebrating it. So it sounds like you believe all government workers would have to work on Christmas, no congress or senate breaks and that schools should be open on Christmas. Do you also want "under God" taken out of the pledge and schools to be open on Jewish holidays. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but sounds like that's what your gettin at. -James |
