"Christmas isn't even Christian!"

[captain_slinky]

I'm sure you've heard your enlightened friends go on and on about how Christmas isn't even really Christian - how Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, decorating trees is a Druid thing, and most every Christmas Tradition has been borrowed, copied or stolen from some other religion.

I'm an Atheist, sure, and I think that this observation probably started from an Atheist... but I'd really like that to stop please.

The Christians took all that stuff from all the other religions and smooshed it all together in to something that's really great! If your first response is to take it apart, that's...

...That's like saying "Ugh that Cake isn't even really a Cake! It's just some flour, eggs and milk stirred together and baked till light and fluffy, then they slapped some frosting on it! Heck, even the FROSTING is just powdered sugar and milk!"

So I'd like to see credit given where credit is due. Thanks, Christianity, for making my favorite Holiday! I appreciate it!

I take partial responsibility for the war on Christmas. My mother goes overboard every year…she may be the reason Christmas is still around in fact.
