Considering Christmas is a pagan holiday, why not?

Sounds great. What most christians seem to be unable to understand is the fact
that Christmas is Pagan in origin and is extremely easy to celebrate without one
mention of their Jesus. I've been doing that for almost 42 years

I would like clarify this for anybody out there that maybe doesn't know this
yet. Christmas is actually nothing more than the celebration of the winter
solstice, a pagan holiday which was celebrated for thousands of years before
christ. The earth precesses, like a spinning top, every 24 thousand years
or so. About 1,500 years ago, the winter solstice fell on December 25th.
Due to the precession of the earth, the solstice has slowly moved over time
to where it is today: December 21st. Bacically, the Christians just
hijacked this widly celebrated pagan holiday a few thousand years ago and
claimed it as their own.

Also notice the similarity here:
1 ) Pagan cultures revered the sun for it's ability to bring light, and thus
life, to the their crops. They celibrated the sun's re-birth on the winter
solstice.
2) Christians revere the "Son" for his ability to bring "light" and "life".
They celebrate his birth on December 25th, at that time the day of the
winter solstice.

Say there Witchypoo, if you get a few minutes free how's
about castin' a lightweight spell on this dipshit we got over here
in a.r.aa... His name is "Virtualoso" and he's powerful annoyin'...
It don't have to be much of a spell, just a little somethin' to slow
him down, like maybe gluing his fingers to the keyboard or some
such... If that's too much, maybe a brain spell that would make
him capable of writin' a coherent sentence... Thanx in advance...

Burn the pagans, it's the only way they'll get to heaven, look at the favour
you'll be doing their immortal soul -
And sing the secret chant before the flames die down, else you'll have to
dig what's left of them up and do it all over again. Ever smell a half -
burned pagan, phewww - why do you think the Christian sign is a fish, get a
grip lads :-))

Oh, we mention Jesus..

"Jesus Christ! What moron put away these lights?"

"That would be you, my dear."

"Oh. Well, I suck at it."
