Yes, it's mighty strange how so many of those who push the Christian message of Xmas are themselves so ignorant of that day's origins. A lot of them also aren't aware of the strange....um, 'coincidences' between the life, death and resurrection (after 3 days!) of Mithras (whose feast-day it was, pre-dating Christ by a long way) and that of J.C. But dare to suggest that the story of the latter is NOT unique then one is bound to upset the 'God Squads' and who knows what might result. So, for my own safety, I won't.
That Linus is such a smart-ass! But he's right.
