Oh yipee!! Celebrating the day an imaginary god was born that
eventually has lead to several wars, millions upon millions upon
millions dead, the rape and torture of young boys and girls. The
senseless murder of innocent people that just wanted to be left alone
with their own beliefs in magical fairies.

Sounds like one hell of a party!! Enjoy your winter solstice but do
remember EXACTLY why the day is actually celebrated as christmas and
not the winter solstice now. If you are not sure I will tell you.
Because the fist christians MURDERED the pagans because the christians
wanted the attention.
