A break

Well, the end of the Mayan calendar is definitely the fault of the Mayans..it's their damned calendar..lol. The doomsday predictions are decidedly modern, and decidedly american. The same con artists that work your faith work the faiths of others. I doubt they'll ever get to the "burnt over belt" state, but selling crap-tons of books is an acceptable second best for them, clearly.

None of it ties in with christianity except a willingness to believe in an end-of-days scenario, of course. Whether or not any given thing ties in with christianity, however, is a non-issue. Doesn't really matter one way or the other (granted, it matters to you).

If you look at how the calender is constructed it has a natural end, it not built to accomindate a 'end of the year' like the Roman calender does. (in that when you get to Month 12 you start over, and then count the years or rather how many times the cycle has completed itself.) Their calender has a beginning and an end i think because they simply did not know any other way to record time. I also think the intent was to just make another calender for 12-22-2012 to 12-22-7012, but they all died out way before they got to their end date. One would think if they could have predicted the future they would have seen their own end comming and not be concerned with the end of those who conquored them.
