Jesus

Too bad he was born in the summer, not winter. However, if you wanna celebrate the birthday of a guy born on December 25th to a virgin mother, you can celebrate Mithra's birthday.
 
Jesus never asked us to celebrate his birth, he asked us to remember the night of his death.

But I guess that wouldn't make as much money for the stores.
 
Thanks to Dan Brown I can't believe anything said about Jesus except that he was one BAMF.
 
Can we trade seasons? Its so god dang hot over here, I don't even.

Also, happy festival of the sun

Yeah, but Christmas in the summer would *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing suck. Much prefer the way we it's done now.
 
I agree with Zero. Christmas in December is more fitting. Not all Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25th. Some Eastern Orthodox celebrate in it January. Even though it's the same as Mithra, we are not celebrating his birthday. The reason why most Christians celebrate it in Winter/December is due to the Christian calendar. Although sects of Christianity vary, certain things were just done a certain way. Bottom line we are just acknowledging the birth of Christ, which is what Christmas is (and should be) all about.

Then celebrate Saturnalia, the Roman Winter Holiday that featured gift-giving. Or Nikolaustag (named after Sankt Nikolaus, also known as Santa Claus or Saint Nicholas) that features Nicholas and his elf, Knecht Ruprecht leaving chocolate in the shoes of kids who have been good. Or Winter Solstice, or Festivus, or Winter Commercialism Day, or whatever the Heck you want to celebrate.

Also, tell the Aussies and Kiwis how much Summer Christmas sucks :)
