It must be horrible growing up with a birthday on or near Christmas... even if you did get two rounds of presents somehow I doubt they'd be of the same individual quality as if the dates were far apart, and if there were expectations of that, there would probably be an unfair and irrational attribution of greediness on the unlucky child's part. Ie waiting six months for one good present and another six months for another good present should be the same as waiting twelve months for two good presents but somehow I doubt it plays out like that in most cases.

I am currently alone eating a whole tub of strawberry ice cream to myself.
It's the true meaning of Xmas.  (December 24, 2016 at 4:45 am)Jesster Wrote:(December 24, 2016 at 4:28 am)robvalue Wrote: I remember hearing it was estimated Jesus would have been born in March. I have no idea if I'll be able to find a source for that now. Recently I was in a busy queue and I accidentally stepped on the foot belonging to the guy in front of me and just as I was about to say "sorry" he yelled "JESUS CHRIST!". I rest my case.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I've tried for the past two Christmas seasons to get some unbeliever to get a copy of the dvd, The Star of Bethlehem and take a serious attitude going into it, but no one has and I guess no one will. Makes me feel like people are afraid of science because that is what's used to test the Bible story of Jesus birth and death. No more apologetic nonsense, G-C. Signs and portents in the skies were important to ancient superstitious clods. Today, not so much.
