Yeah I relaize that Dec 25th is not the date Jesus was lterally born on, its based on a pegan holiday date. However, that IS the day that was chosen to celebrate his birthday and that is more to my point i guess. I know i originally said on the day he was born, i guess for nit pickers it should be changed to on the day they celibrate thier saviour's birthday. The point still remains, its Christmas, aside from easter it is the most significant Religous holiday and churches are closed for it. According to the article one of the mega churhes is actually closed from Dec 25 - Jan 7, re-damn-diculious.
