Lost me with the assuming statement. It's Christmas and the meaning is now a good thing. Merry Christmas!

Fun part of the history: New England Puritans refused to celebrate Christmas until forced to treat it as a holiday by James II. They still refused public displays, but a growing number of royally-aligned Anglicans in Boston acted in the traditional manner.

Judge Samuel Sewell, best known popularly for his role in the Salem Witch Panic, was also a detailed diarist and he noted watching two drunken men in bright outfits engage in a sword fight on the streets. So, enjoy Christmas the traditional way: with drunken debauchery.

There's actually a fair amount of historical evidence that Christ was born on December 25. The OP's post is rather in the nature of an urban legend.

Exactly! And it's supported by a newspaper account.

BS? What is BS about the history of Christmas? I had never heard of this stuff.

I have heard lots of pagan background on Easter..but that can wait.
