	You may not be aware of this, but Christmas is a pagan holiday!
It was the pagans' way of celebrating the winter solistice.  Jesus was
born in the summer!
   ...
	(1) The Christians, experts at subverting other religions (for
example, they cast Lucifer in a role to look like Pan, the pagan's god),
perpetrated the fraud that the pagan's winter solistice holiday (their
biggest shindig, by the way) was Jesus' birthday.

	Not only that, but Easter is based on the Druid celebration
of the spring equinox.  The Druids actually celebrated the first
full moon after the equinox, and have you ever noticed that Easter
is ALWAYS the first Sunday after the first full moon after the
equinox?  (This is the reason the date and month change from year to
year.)  Check it out this year, if you don't believe me! (and the
next year, and the next year...)

	To my understanding both these date changes were made when
Christianity hit the British Isles.
