Actually it was a *pagan* holiday (Sol Invictus... The Victory of the Sun) that was coopted (rather successfully too, I might add) to become a Christian holiday (The Victory of the Son...) Can't oblitterate a pagan holiday? STEAL it and make it one of your own. Now they complain because Sam WalMart tried to steal it back again. It can be a very valid non-religious holiday if you want it to be. |
