And by the way, Christmas is celebrated pretty much all over the world in some form or another. It's an old pagan tradition evolving mostly from various mid-winter celebrations, and it has *nothing* to do with Christianity. December 25 is the birthday of the mediterranean pagan godess Mitra. Jesus is believed to have been born sometime in early spring. For this reason many hardcore christians actually do not celebrate christmas at all.
