I love 'true' facts about Christmas so keep them coming. I always though Jesus was born in October and the reason it is December was because two extra months were added to the year by the Romans.
I also think it was pretty inconvenient of Jesus was born on Christmas day. As if it s not busy enough that time of year as it is 😉
As for your love of new music, if you haven't checked out Wet Leg yet you're in for a treat. Look for Chaise Lange and Wet Dream. Hailing from Isle of Wight, they are a refreshing and exciting new fun sound.
That reason for Christmas being in December could very well be true as well, Mark. Up until Gregory, Western calendars tended towards the wonky. The Hebrew calendar was based heavily on the lunar cycle, so they had to have a leap month to keep things on track.
Spotify has been throwing Wet Leg at me regularly. I like both those songs. I think the band has to be in the running for Newcomer With The Most Unfortunate Name. I wonder if they will ever tour with Peaness?
35 years ago I housed a German Wycliffe Bible translator. We developed a friendship that lasted until her early demise. She gave me an exquisitely embroidered blouse from Oaxaca. It created an interest in Mexico that became a weekly drive across the border taking provisions to the poor. Sinks, carpets, clothes and goodies delivered to 3 families. That blouse opened my eyes to possibilities an hour from my house. My life was so enhanced by the Mexican love given me. What a loving lot.

Yes, lunar emphasis.
Will check those bands out. This American is always in pursuit of new tunes.
Good sound, unfortunate but memorable band name.
