Maybe someone should read up on other religions....

Considering, the Christians took the date of Christmas from the Pagans who celebrate Yule at this time of year. It wasn't until A.D. 440 that the church officially proclaimed December 25 as the birth of Christ. This was not based on any religious evidence but on a pagan feast. Saturnalia was a tradition inherited by the Roman pagans from an earlier Babylonian priesthood. December 25 was used as a celebration of the birthday of the sun god. It was observed near the winter solstice. The apostles in the Bible predicted that some Christians would adopt pagan beliefs to enable them to make their religion more palatable to the pagans around them. Therefore, some scholars think the church chose the date of this pagan celebration to interest them in Christianity. The pagans were already used to celebrating on this date

Now I know why EST doesn't have GA's. Your even more of a douche bag than I thought.

You may have noticed how I said significant. There are no other significant modern religions with holidays occurring at the moment. And yes I am aware of the origin of why Christmas was placed on December 25th, don't act like you taught me something.
