Interesting fact: Jesus wasn't born in December; more than likely he was born in July or August. The shepherds wouldn't have taken their sheep out to graze at night, as it would have been too cold for them.

Additionaly, the reason we celebrate the birth of Jesus on December is because it coincides with the winter solstice, a Wiccan holy day called Yule (December 21). According to Wicca, this day is the day when the Goddess gives birth to a son, the God; the solstice has long been viewed by Wiccans as a time of divine births. The Christians adopted it for their use to help convert Wiccans to Christianity.

Merry Christmas!


I'm guessing you're Wiccan? My fiancee is "Wiccan lite" and would probably share this opinion with you. But let me remind you that just as YOUR logic would tell you that the explaination above makes sense ... MY logic tells me that it does not because (1) it's biased from a rivaling religion (2) there is no proof to back your claim in any religious documents such as the Bible.

Merry Christmas!!


Actually, I'm Agnostic; my brother is the Wiccan in the family, much to the dismay of my grandmother and aunt (hardcore Hispanic Catholics Thumbs Up ).

The same religious bias could apply to you as well. And the primary reason why there are no religious documents to back the claim is because the Church tried to wipe out all traces of druid religions in the Middle Ages, saying that it was devil worship. Those whom they could not convert, they killed.
