It does predate Christmas and Christianity by a bit. And the reason that we celebrate Christmas NOW is to make it match up with the December Solstice. It made it that much easier for the early church to pull the pagans into the fold. Ever wonder why the symbols of Christmas are pagan symbols like holly, ivy, and the Yule log? (Same for Easter, the Equinox, and fertility symbols like eggs and bunnies.) But personally, I don't care a whit about any of that. I am just thankful that, for whatever reason, we seem to come to our senses for one time during the year and focus on goodwill toward all men. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 [email protected] +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
