I think you are right there, I filled in all the questions like you and it came up with St Martin of Tours!

Cheers! πŸ™‚

Actually that’s an idea – maybe alcohol would help?

And now, back to breakfast. That baby must be nearly ready by now (I like them rare) πŸ™‚

No worries, Heather, and thanks Diane. Of course, I doubt the man even existed, and the chances of being able to pin down his date of birth are about 365:1.

BTW, I’m finding your USA election posts fascinating – please keep up the good (and hard) work. It’s a dirty job, but…

You’re right!

Sorry HFB – I spoiled the punchline πŸ™

Feel free to tell me I’m a fu*kwit – but only once! πŸ™‚

“I always thought that Jesus was allegedly born on Christmas day, not Christmas Eve.”

You & me both. Heather, I think you missed HFB’s point. πŸ™‚

16 June 4 BC seems be a popular date of scholars, always assuming he actually existed of course. One thing’s for sure, there wouldn’t have been any shepherds watching their flocks by night in the northern hemisphere in late December.

I vaguely remember reading that it was an attempt to bring about good behaviour at Saturnalia that led the Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus at that time of year – good confirmation of the immoral atheist myth! πŸ™‚

I’m starting to think they have a list of (as Diane describes them) “innocuous saints” that are applied at random!

Not a random sample, but still of interest.

I voted for Christmas Eve as my favourite Christian holiday – I love a good Saturnalia (without the human sacrifices, of course).

PS I always thought that Jesus was allegedly born on Christmas day, not Christmas Eve. In fact, if he was born on Christmas Eve, would that not make it “Christmas Day”?!
