Southand Times - the Christmas Myth

Posted Dec 26th 2014 to the Southland Times Newspaper Invercargill NZ



I read laments that people have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas these days
Yes it once was a Solstice Festival to mark the turning of Winter on the road to spring.
If we want to celebrate this we should do it in July. the Jesus story is nice but hardly based on
specifics, even the Pope says we take it to literally in fact like Santa Claus Jesus just wants to know if your
naughty or nice and as John Cleese Pointed out All the Smartest people never take things literally so Pope Frank MUST be smart and you CAN celebrate Christmas in Winter and it won't bother Emperor Constantine as he is way too dead to care. After all it is all just an uplifting fairytale mainly for Children and silly adults just want to spoil it by being far too literal and way too materialistic!
BTW Why can't we celebrate the Planet? it was been very good to us so far.
