Then why do you keep snipping it?

I'm performing a public service.

The reality is, Christmas itself is a canard, a holiday
that only by convention is celebrated on the 25th of December. The date
itself has nothing to do with the man now called Jesus. What you are
celebrating is a holiday created from whole cloth by Constantine the
Great in the fourth century. He picked the same date as an existing
pagan festival.

Jesus, a pious Jewish man, probably would have disdained the holiday
named for him via a name that was not his.

Probably not Harry.

Really, and what you base that on? Your extensive knowledge of first
century pious Jews?


A more reliable source than you base your BS on.

Merry Christmas Harry.
