It's the holiday season, and Santa Claus has got a toy for every good girl and good little boy. Santa's a great big bundle of joy, when he's-
But, wait. That's not what Christmas is all about, is it? Linus couldn't have put it any better when he quoted from the Bible (chapter 2 of the Book of Luke to be exact):
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
There's just one thing, however. Those of you who believe Jesus Christ was born on December the twenty-fifth are fools. Fools, I say, FOOLS!
The Church decided that Jesus's birthdate would be Dec. 25, the same day on which a pagan holiday/celebration was observed.
"What pagan holiday, Papa KirbyfanNeox?"
Exactly.
...Happy Decemberween, everybody!
