Thanks for looking, John. As for the rest of your comments: Christmas is
celebrated in late December because it coincides with winter solstice. When
Europe was being Christianized, the church coopted pre-existing pagan holidays.
Good marketing strategy.
Since I am not Christian, for me this is indeed the “holiday season”.
Cheers,
Nathan
