WHEN WAS JESUS BORN?: M. M. NINAN<br />
about Christmas; that in its present observance, as well as in its origin,<br />
Christmas is basically and essentially pagan.<br />
“What I'm saying, then, is that the real Christmas has always been<br />
pagan, and to make it a Christian celebration is to try to add Christ or<br />
biblical elements to an essentially pagan holiday.<br />
“Rick Meisel echoes this sentiment in "Tis the Season for Pagan<br />
Worship:<br />
“What many in Christendom have been celebrating--Christmas--is a<br />
thoroughly pagan holiday--in its origin, in its trappings, and in all its<br />
traditions.<br />
“The modern conservative cry to put Christ back into Christmas is<br />
absurd. <strong>Jesus</strong> Christ <strong>was</strong> never in Christmas.”<br />
