VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Graham|DATE|1382611171|CONTENT|Wondering if a fellow Platitudiner might be able to help?  A few weeks back some Christian leader suggested that Christmas be moved to the summer- presumably on the assumption that it would show everyone just how important Christ&#039;s birthday is and how much more important it is than the rest of the Yule-tide stuff.  I&#039;d be very grateful if someone could tell me who it was, and a reference if at all possible.

I&#039;m helping a comedian work something up for a Christmas atheist gig and this should definitely be good for a laugh.

Also any lists of Christian traditions which aren&#039;t Christian would be great eg something listing the real origins of yule logs, Xmas trees, mince pies, Xmas pud, Xmas cards, lights, decorations.  I suspect that even baby Jesus in the manger is a knock-off of one or more prior myths...

Many thanks in anticipation.|IP-ADDRESS|2.29.230.160|MODERATIONFLAG|
