THE TRUE DATE WHEN CHRIST WAS BORN
The exact date when Christ was born seems to be unknown, lost in the mists of history. I have read scholarly fluff about how pagan customs and observances related to the dead of winter and the shortest day of the year were assimilated by Christianity to capitalize on and amalgamate an already existing holiday mood and atmosphere.
It seems to detract a bit from the sense of soundness and assurance that ought to be associated with so important a day of tribute to Our Savior, His birth, so I propose that arrangements be made to recognize the Christmas event every day of the year, so that we can be sure that on at least one of the days we are on the mark.
There would be no necessity to multiply and duplicate the other baggage that attaches to Christmas, however, such as cards, shopping, decorations, festoons and family gatherings. For all that, once seems to do nicely.
