[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are a Christian, why are you celebrating Christmas in late December, when that's not when Jesus was even born? Not even the same season--by at least a few months!

If you are Catholic, you celebrate when the Church holds these feast days. And, if you went to Catholic school or did RCIA as an adult, you are absolutely aware that they were moved to co opt pagan shenanigans like Samhain and Yule.

When I was a child many minor feasts were celebrated on a certain date and now they seem to have migrated to the nearest Sunday which makes me a bit sad. The result is that my family celebrates religious Epiphany by going to Mass on the designated Sunday and cultural Epiphany on 1/6 (Three Kings bring the kids gift). [/quote]

Still an oxymoron. But that's fine, and then [b]don't complain about people celebrating secular Christmas in late December, [/b]since they're not the ones contradicting their religious history/faith. Because this time of year, Jesus is actually not the reason for the season at all. [/quote]

Yeah, I’ve never complained about it. Or any holiday anyone chose to celebrate except for Jefferson Davis Day and other confederate holidays.[/quote]
