I think we need to change Christmas to April or March

And rather call December 24/25 "Yule" which we do in scandinavia. From my search 28 March was when Jesus was born, so that should be the date every Christian should celebrate on i think.

 

Because December date was most likely to apease the pagans back then to easen up the conversion to Christianity, and although i am glad Christmas to many is about Christ, however most are doing it for materialistic reasons and all that. So basically Christians should ditch that and separate from it and rather have it one when Jesus was born which was either on March or April from what i have heard in celebration of Christ birth, nothing wrong with eating a meal with familiy since Jesus ate and was grateful when he ate with others. The same way christians should be too, but i feel the origin of Christmas on 25th have bad motives in it.

 

But i am just wondering your views? I was gonna ask this in debate pit but apparently i cant yet.

But how is "Yule" any different from Christmas?

 

P.S. Christmas is not just a religious holiday; it's a culturally accepted and appreciated tradition for anyone who wish to join - Christian or not.

Leave it where it is. I kinda like getting those 2 weeks off from work after I've been working since summer with only Labor Day and Thanksgiving off.
