Dude, even *I*, the asshole Gunny of the World, etc, etc, like Christmas. Geez. Lighten up.
Correct, the Bible does not state a specific date as Christ's birthday. Odds are good Christians chose Dec 25th to roll it into the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice. It eased them in the back door with the pagans, AND it chose a date to celebrate the birth of Christ.
I had this debate when I was 9 years old and Garner ted Armstrong was on talk radio saying the same thing about an actual date. My grandfather informed me id doesn't really matter what day it was. What matters is the day we celebrate. I haven't been able to defeat that argument in 51 years.
Santa Claus is an imaginary figure from back in the day when people believed in magic. It's (supposed to be) the spirit of giving. And I do prefer the giving to receiving things I always never wanted
Besides, my 2 1/2 years old grandson has stated there WILL BE Christmas. And there will be a tree and a Santa Claus and when everyone gets back from church it'll be present time. YOU argue with him
