Hey kids!

Merry Christmas!  I just learned that Jesus was born in May, so why do we celebrate in December?  I don't know either.  Maybe it's because of Santa?  I dunno, it's confusing.  Seriously I'm wondering about this, so if anyone knows write it in the comments section.

It is probably nicer for people to have the possibility of snow and to sit around a warm fire.  Santa would look really dumb wearing all that red velvet, flying with reindeer and a sleigh, eating cookies and milk, ho-ho-ho'ing and sweating his balls off in May.  On the other hand, it would make it much easier for people to travel during the holidays if it was a little bit warmer.

So what do you think?  Should we move Christmas to May? Let's do it ya'll!  Then we really would be celebrating 'fo reals yo', like the actual date instead of some symbolic day in December.  Because really, December already has it pretty good.  It gets sandwiched between Thanksgiving and New Years.  What self respecting holiday gets the proverbial eiffel tower treatment?  None! And that's why we should start a movement to get Christmas changed to May. 

I guess we could leave Hanukkah where it is so the real Jews (I'm only half, which means I'm not real) can have their holiday in peace. Then they wouldn't have to be sad about eating chinese and going to the movies because everything else is closed on December 25th. Instead, it would be some random day in May, and that would be totally awesome!
