Just "pointing out", Kevin? That's all, is it? :-)

I didn't know that today's "season's festivities" consisted of the pagan
celebration of the rebirth of the sun? What is -your- "reason for the
season"?

The commercialization is not good, and the loss to the culture of the
"reason for the season". And the cultural memory loss of  But I am glad that
in this time of year some people do celebrate both/either (1) "It's a
Wonderful Life", (2) giving in general, or (3) the greatest gift ever given.
And that (4) it's a chance to remember who Saint Nicholas really was, the
guy who started the gift-giving idea in the first place by observing the
SOn's birth with anonymous gifts for poor children left at their doorstep.

So have a Happy Christmas everyone   :-)
