 Merry Xmas to you sir! If your stuck for giving someone a gift I'd suggest buying either 'The Office' or 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' on DVD! Not being a Christian and not really caring about history I was supprised about the origin of Christmas since it turns out that Jesus wasn't actually born on the 25th of December as I has been previously been told, infact he wasn't even born close to December! On the 25th of Decemeber Pagans celebrated the feast of the Son of Isis. In 350, Pope Julius I declared that Christ?s birth would be celebrated on December 25, this was to make it easy for Pagan Roman's to convert to Christianity.
If bothered you could read more about it here http://de.essortment.com/christmaspagan_rece.htm thats if you could be bothered. |
