Plus Jesus was born in September.

Christianity was never really a Christian thing. They borrowed pretty much everything from older stories & religions.

For example the story of genesis was originally a Sumerian story main difference being, The God they credited for creating the universe was the evil temptress in the Christian story

Seems like some major religions are a collection of fairy tales told by bored camel jockeys to keep their wives in check.

M Dogg™:
Christianity was branched off the Jewish faith. The difference is Christians believe Jesus Christ (Yashua bin Yoseph) is the savior for everyone's sins. Christmas was actually never really the big celebration to the original Christians, Easter was. Christmas was actually the celebration of Saturn to the Romans, when Roman became Christian, the feast of Saturn and the winter celebration became Christmas. Then the Christmas tree came from Wicca celebrations in England. We think of Christmas as snow and evergreen trees. I challenge anyone to find snow and an evergreen tree in Bethlehem. Also, it is believed that Jesus was born actually in the spring.

For me Christmas is the one time I get to hang out with my entire family at once (and yes, spend money on each other). So I guess, thank you corporations?
