Christmas
Christmas isn’t actually the celebration of Christ’s birthday. Christ was born in the spring of course. No shepherd worth his salt would have had them out in the dead of winter. Christmas is simply in December to coincide with the pagan holiday, Saturnalia, in order for early Christians to celebrate their Lord’s birth without persecution. So next time someone wishes you Merry Christmas, reply in turn with Happy Saturnalia, because Christ wasn’t born in the winter. Time to go to bed.
Stand up!
Stand out!
Be you!
