[quote=turak;1571629]Whoever is interested: see if you can research the history of Christmas: by timeline.

Meaning: start with the earliest known practice of this holiday. Find the earliest origins of Christmas: and track the holiday through history to show how it has evolved and changed into what it is today.

why> ?

To see if anyone can discover what the original meaning of christmas was, and how it relates to the present.

In other words: if you research the entire history of Christmas: you will understand it in wider perspective.

Note: This addendum is only for the posers who follow me around trying to destroy all discussion before it starts: it does NOT apply to anyone who is interested in taking up this project and actually finding out the originsof Christmas.

I would like a show of hands:

How many of you despise hard work? How many of you despise history? How many of you despise learning anything new? How many of you despise people who do hard work, study history, learn new things, and are better than you?

Don't be shy... raise your hands. Just so we can identify the trolls and ignore everything they post here from now on.
