Hi Guys,
Excellent post as always. I talk about the true peace and goodwill in one of my posts from this week. I may use this list in my opening illustration for my sermon, if you guys don't mind.

Dan: 4. December 25th was also chosen to counter the Roman emporer-worship holiday of Sol Invictus.

As well as the various celebrations of Yule, winter solstice etc which were prevalent.

The date of 25th December was the date of these celebrations due to it being the winter solstice, when the sun was thought to be born again, the days became longer again etc etc.
