DC I think it has more to do with the Greek/Roman tradition of the sun god, Sol Invictus and the winter solstice occurring around December 25. The celebration of Sol Invictus was the 25th and celebrated the rebirth of the sun and was co-opted by the Christians as the birth date for JC in the 4th century I believe but happy to be corrected!

that may well be for the italians, but not the northern europeans

the winter solstice was celebrated differently by different pagan cultures

xmas just conveniently usurped them all

A Merry Xmas and all the best for the New year to all my fellow Demon supporters.

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for a safe and happy New Year.

I cannot wait for the footy season to begin and have a great feeling about 2015.

Thanks to everyone for keeping me in the loop with training reports, rumours, gossip etc.

I thought it was a rip-off of the Jewish festival of Hannukah which has all the essential ingredients like candles, chocolate and commencing on the 25th day of the month.

Whatever... a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hannukah to all.

Compliments of the season to all.
