I haven't actually mentioned my beliefs at all.
I'm challenging your statement
& your claim about Winter Solstice, which pre-dates Christmas.Dec was the only month with no holliday so they decided
with the card cocktail comps that it will make money & cards if they call it X-mass & have Santa Clause & other icons to
faulsely represent this holliday that dont exist!
As I said in my last postthat is not a legal or nationaly none holliday or marked
with greeting cards--on the calider as legal holliday the every one gets a day off work!
So no solstic is not a legal holliday!
what are the legal holidays in each month, that pre-date Christmas ?
Given that Christmas was first celebrated on December 25th in 354AD.
If there are no legal holidays in each month which pre-date 345AD, then they couldn't have decided to have Christmas in december because it was the only month with no legal (your word not mine) holiday.
How did they decide in 345AD that they could make money from Christmas cards by having Christmas in december, when Christmas Cards hadn't been invented?
If what you meant to say was that Christmas was commercialised because they wanted a way to make money in december, I'd have to agree with you, but the holiday was already celebrated on that date, long before commercialisation.
Columbus day?? Not a holiday here, legal or otherwise. It's not a global holiday at all only celebrated in the Americas.personly know Columbus did not discover a thiing!
Philippiones-& others were known to have contact befor that!
Some how the Queen gets rights for this mess!
As for the Queen getting rights, I take it you mean HRH Queen Elizabeth II, her birthday is 21 April she was born in 1926, so she wasn't around in the time of Columbus.
