If anyone ever figures out which day Christ was actually born on,that day would be my choice.
friday
day after payday
Sunday!
Friday, so I can make it a four day weekend. Christmas Eve on Thursday, Christmas on Friday, and you have the weekend to recover from the holiday!
Monday.
Christmas should not be on the same day every year. It must stay on Dec 25th as it has been for 2017 years
Monday
Christmas should be celebrated on....Christmas!
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
(what day do you want your birthday celebrated?)
Any dasy the liquor stores are open.
The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336, during the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine (he was the first Christian Roman Emperor). A few years later, Pope Julius I officially declared that the birth of Jesus would be celebrated on the 25th December.
11:02 Christmas was moved to its current date to snuff the pagan celebration of the winter solstice, and has not been celebrated anywhere close to 2017 years. I get your point, but you are unfortunately incorrect.
If an emperor and a pope decided that it was December 25th, then that must be right, right?
Christmas isn't about a day off or a party. It's about Jesus' birthday and just like everyone else's birthday it is to be celebrated on whatever day it falls on.
If I were a retailer, I'd say Tuesday to create three full shopping days before the event.
I miss the Blue Laws.
Thanks for the correction
If the left had it there way, it wouldn't celebrated at all.

Jesus was more likely not born on December 25. Astronomers, scientists, and biblical scholars say somewhere between January and April 4 BC. The Bethlehem Star phenomenon occurred then. Involved a comet that lasted months. Look it up.
On the birth of Christ's birthday, which is 12/25. Mine is 04/16, and that's the day I celebrate mine.
Period.
The date was appropriated from already established Pagan high holidays and myths. Everyday is Christmas. It was a virgin birth after all. That's pretty remarkable. The next would be alien contact.
Christ probably doesn't care about such a small detail and will be happy to be remembered and his teachings appreciated and followed.
Christ's birth date is a creation of Man. Need we be reminded that many of our creations are flawed?
Ditto
12:12 PM - Well said.
Should stay as is we have changed to much in recent years to please the ones who are never satisfied.
