| Apparently, only two of the first 13 questions addresses the the birth of Jesus. Num. 12, answer: October; Num. 13, answer: the account of the Bible does not state the quantity of these 'magoi' or astrologers, only their gifts - gold, incense and myrrh. Christmas was never observed by the early Christians from the 1st century C.E. through the 3rd. It was introduced by the paganistic religion of the Roman Empire on the 4th Century through a watered down-so-called christian religion, called at first the Universal Church, now known now as the Catholic Church.Non christians view it as it is, as a pagan originated celebration that has no connection whatsoever with Jesus Christ.PS. I am a Christian |

| different trees...usually evergreens. some people like to celebrate with palm trees for fun! people used popcorn before decorative balls. red symbolizes the blood that Jesus spilt to redeem us of our sins, and green is the color of life. turtle doves (refers to old and new testaments), french hens (theological virtues- faith, hope, charity), calling birds (4 gospels), geese-a-laying (6 days of creation), swans a swimming (7 sacraments)... |
