That's a lovely ideal, but peace & goodwill have about as much to do with Christmas as Vonnegut does with Shakespeare

But Jesus is purported not to have been born on the 25th of December, too much in the Bible suggests it was at a different time of year, see ;

why does it matter? For Christians, He was born, and we celebrate that birth on December 25th. Semantics are irrelevant.

i agree with you Sirsholly.

"There's only one rule,babies..you've got to be kind" provides words for thought...
so does Shakespere..

A holy day..a holiday..can provide TIME and a call for thoughts about peace...

"Peace and goodwill to all..religions and spirituality"
is something I TRY I live each day and nothing to do with Christmas..
That is why the comment was seperate from the rest.
