Mix Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Every year he gives me the evil eye when I take down my Christmas decorations. Like this morning, I was like, "chill out, I'll put them back up in a couple of months." He seemed more confused than angry after that. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Jesus Christ's birthday is not in December that's a historical fact that can be determined by reading the Gospels. It wasn't wintertime when that happened Shepherds because they won't have their flocks out when it could be freaking cold yes Israel's kind of desert country but still pretty far north. It's only celebrated on December 25th because some Roman Emperor decided to make it the official Christmas because he became a Christian and decided to Co-op an existing holiday. We're learning history fun ain't it? We just celebrate it on December 25th as I said but it's tradition might as well go with it no one really knows because the writers of the gospels did not put what Hebrew month Jesus was born in and there's a calendar difference between them did Julian / Gregorian calendars and the Hebrew one so months might not line up every year. Finally, it is June too early to complain about the War on Christmas Edited June 17 by ghostrek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 one year at my dad's our fake Christmas tree didn't get taken down until April or May and only because our aunt and uncle popped in unexpected "is that your Christmas tree?!" the shame was real 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're learning history fun ain't it? - emperor constatine. there were originally 10 months in the calander year, thank you romulus. mary gave birth sometime during the census/tax to be counted. christmas was tacked onto the pagan holiday of winter solstice, you know...to keep the peasants in check you take their religion and assign a new one. NOW we're learning history. We just celebrate it on December 25th as I said but it's tradition might as well go with it no one really knows because the writers of the gospels did not put what Hebrew month Jesus was born in and there's a calendar difference between them did Julian / Gregorian calendars and the Hebrew one so months might not line up every year. hebrew calander = jewish calander and every 3 years an extra month is added on. the current year is 5784. the bible was written with keeping the masses in check. that's all. it's a history book. a fairy tale. Finally, it is June too early to complain about the War on Christmas - it's his god given american right to complain. 'murica. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudolphSikorsky Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 You should just keep decorations up and keep adding more and more each year until your house becomes one huge Christmas attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
