Personally I like the whole winter solstice thing. The fact that Christmas doesn't exactly fall on the date of the solstice doesn't bother me either. It's a way to chase away the winter blues and remind yourself that you have reached the turning point. Warmer weather will come soon (2 months for me. At least there's some advantage to living in the Bible belt.).
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
