Christmas is over.... Funny thing about the holiday of Christmas, for one thing, Jesus was not born in December, it is winter in the holy land and shepherds would not have their flocks in the fields simply because there would be nothing to graze on, Jesus was most likely born in April or May. The 25th of December was originally a high feast day of Sol Invictus, the Roman sun god, when Emperor Constantine decided to legitimize the Christian Church (He did not officially convert to Christianity until he was on his death bed,) he kind of used the persuasion by force method to get the birth celebration of Jesus' birth moved to the same day. Finally, IF Jesus could see what is done to celebrate his birth (greed, greed and more greed) he would ask his dad to zap the planet with a blue lightening bolt.
