What is xmas?

RE: What is xmas?
Lots of people celkebrated the winter solstice before christianity came along. Jesus' birthday was moved there to help bring converts. This is common knowledge to most people outside christians. The Christmas tree is such an icon of the holiday that people will complain about stores not putting it up, despite the fact that decorated trees have jack all to do with Jesus. It's the same thing with Easter. Pagan symbols and traditions have been so ingrained in christian holidays that we hardly think of what plants and rabbits have to do with Jesus and his teachings.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
