Aren't there enough wars already? Did we have to *invent* one?

Hey! Thanks to alyxbradford, you can prepare yourself for the next time you receive one of the "There Is a War on Christmas!" emails, or if someone demands "how dare you wish me 'Happy Holidays'?": the facts about Christmas, complete with Biblical canon and European and American history.

Not that you're likely to get results, but at least you won't be left flailing about in impotent rage or chopping people up for kindling.

Also, Charles Dickens? Fuck you. You wanna piece of me? Don't look at me, Charles Dickens. Ass.

You'd think they'd first try to purify Easter from the syncretist influences what with it being most important for Christianity, and yet most people celebrating it are doing all the vaguely pagan spring fertility stuff, i.e. decorating with hares/bunnies and eggs, putting fresh blooming twigs into their homes, and lighting huge bonfires and sometimes even still firewheels. Actually I don't know whether you do that fire part in the US. So are these people campaiging agaist the Easter Bunny too?
