Why is Thanksgiving a month from Christmas?
Many people live far away from their families. Others just see each other on the major holidays regardless of location. Don’t you think that’s a bit too much “family time” all at once? Isn’t it a bit too much food all at once, too? Shouldn’t the holidays be spread more evenly across the calendar? And why do we put these major holidays right in months with the worst weather conditions? We’re dumb.
Don’t blame us, Baby Jesus just popped out in the coldest month.
Actually, December 25th has nothing to do with Jesus’ actual date of birth. Kudos on “Baby Jesus just popped out,” though.
