[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] If we base the calender on the birth of Jesus (which we really shouldn't do, anyway), New Year's and Christmas would be the same day (since it wouldn't make much sense to base a calender on someone's birth, but not have the year start on that person's birthday). Now, supposedly, when Jesus was born, there were shepherds out herding their sheep. I read somewhere that December is in the rainy season in Israel, meaning that shepherds probably wouldn't have their sheep out in the fields, meaning Jesus probably wasn't born at that time of year. So, if we move Christmas to the correct time of the year, and put New Year's on Christmas... See? Anyway, it would make the most sense to put New Year's on one of the equinoxes or solstices, since those are natural phenomenon. How'd it get stuck where it, anyway? [/QB][/QUOTE]
