JimC,
Why is the fact that Dec. 25th is not the actual birthday of JC matter?
I don't think anyone really thinks 12/25 is his birthday, they use that
annual date to celebrate his birth. It is very common among parents who
adopted children from overseas, to designate a date to celebrate the
child's birthday. They know it is not the actual date, but it allows
them to celebrate their child's birthday. Why is this so hard to
understand?

In my opinion, whoever picked Dec 25 either lived in a warm climate, or
was totally insane. No normal person wants to slog through winter slop to
go shopping.

If must have been the big reatilers, they needed a big shopping push to fill
their coffers before the end of the 4th quarter.
