I do like singing all of the Christmas songs though

where do you get the idea that we're celebrating that doodthing;
"In his 22nd sermon, he directly addressed those who attributed the Nativity to Sol Invictus:
Having therefore so confident a hope, dearly beloved, abide firm in the Faith in which you are built: lest that same tempter whose tyranny over you, Christ has already destroyed, win you back again with any of his wiles, and mar even the joys of the present festival by his deceitful art, misleading simpler souls with the pestilential notion of some to whom this our solemn feast day seems to derive its honour, not so much from the nativity of Christ as, according to them, from the rising of the new sun . Such men's hearts are wrapped in total darkness, and have no growing perception of the true Light: for they are still drawn away by the foolish errors of heathendom, and because they cannot lift the eyes of their mind above that which their carnal sight beholds, they pay divine honour to the luminaries that minister to the world.
In this sermon, Pope Leo I clearly establishes that the two feasts were held on the same day, but that they are also not related."

The Christians placed their holidays and feast days on pagan holidays to make it easier for converts.

well, she works at a hospital, so it's not like she's by herself doing paperwork at some office. THAT would be mean. but it's not like you can shut down a hospital just for a holiday, so...
she's a nurse and works in the psychiatric unit, so i'm sure she's having fun. n_______n
she also stupidly picked up working on new year's so she had extra money to help pay for all this shit. O_0
