No-one knows when Jesus was supposed to have been born, but apparently shepherds didn't watch their flocks in the fields by night any later than October because it was too cold!
Let's face it, it doesn't really have that much to do with religion anymore for most people.

Aye, that's the problem, ROB. It isn't religious really anymore but yet they still kick up a fuss about things like Christmas Lights.

It isn't about that.
It's about the fact that everything we once called a way of life is now being scraped to accomodate people who wouldn't accomodate us.
