Has anyone told these people that Jesus Christ, their Saviour, was most likely not born on December 25th two thousand years ago? 'Cause I, as a sometimes rationally thinking human being, equate that fact to be as equally selacious as it somehow being uncovered that the signing of the Declaration of Independence actually happened in late October.

How Dec. 25th got chosen is pretty interesting. Read this

for more than you ever wanted to know.
Thanks for the link, Dr. Wharton. Al will probably not thank you for the link, but will glance at it anyway. This time of year tends to make him all the more crankier.
Sorry that I didn't get a chance to speak to you more at the Blogger Meetup (hope to see you at the next one) and I was glad to see you (and your blogged commentary)at last Thursday's commencement! Have a great Winter Break!
