I Love Christmas

How can I not?

Jesus (5BC-ish, observed day)
Orlando Gibbons (1573)
Sir Isaac Newton (1642)
Humphrey Bogart (1899)
Annie Lennox (1954)
Justin Trudeau (1971) (AND his younger brother, in 1973, apparently)
@Harriet03 's mum
Me (199-something)

All born on Christmas Day.

How can I not love it?
(Although my mercenary nature is put out by the considerable lack of present-receiving opportunities the rest of the year...)

If you actually read the Bible, assuming any of it is true, then you'll find that Jesus was born in September, not December.

@PikachuTrainer I said 'observed day' for a reason ;)

I always thought he would have been born about Easter time (rather ironically), given there are shepherds in the fields etc in Luke's version.

@PikachuTrainer @Murmurs Saturnalia! or the feast of Sol Invictus!
