I came across this while doing some stuff for work today.
"God is a smart Creator. It?s almost as if he knew that Christmas needed to be placed at the end of the year, because it gives us a chance to cool down from all the stress and frustration that?s built up over the first 11 and 3/4 months."
While, I'm sure it has been a stressful year for the author, they really should check their facts before writing. Especially the part where God didn't choose the date of Christmas. It was chosen by the early Catholic church. They picked this time of year for Christmas since there were already several different celebrations being held for various pagans religions at the time. It's just another way that the Catholics co-oped most of their faith instead of taking the time to create their own. Also, many scholars believe that the time of Christ's birth would have actually been in summer. A long ways away from December!!
