Christmas Day has Nothing to do with Winter Solstice

[Johny Joe Hold]

I hope I'm not getting too picky in my advancing years, but there is something that I think we True Christians™ should pay a little attention to. That is noting, in casual conversation around Christmas Day, that the days are getting longer.

The problem with mentioning this is that it plays into the hands of godless atheists who claim that pagans originally celebrated this thing called "Winter Solstice" around the same time. It give atheists the opening to claim that the original Christians just piggybacked "the Jesus birth story" onto that date.

We, of course, know that the birth of Christ happened on December 25th and that the date is recorded forever in history. It is so dishonest for anyone to claim otherwise.

But, I'm just saying that bringing attention to the similar dates might confuse uneducated people.

I simply can't understand how some people can think there is a link between Winter Solstice and Christmas. But then again some people will just believe everything they are told because the are imcapable of critical thinking.
