Better yet, there is nothing in the NT that establishes either christmas
or easter. The *only thing established by Jesus was communion. That's it.
Period.
The other two were tacked on centuries later. There's flat out nothing
"christian" about christmas. Never wass.
(Easter is just hysterical... all the good christians unwittingly using
all those pagan fertility symbols...)
