Xmas countdown: September 4: 111 days to go! Christmas was once a
moveable feast celebrated at many different times during the year. The
choice of December 25, was made by Pope Julius I, in the 4th century
A.D., because this coincided with the pagan rituals of Winter Solstice,
or Return of the Sun. The intent was to replace the pagan celebration
with the Christian one.
