Thoughts on the Holiday Season

I was playing dreidel when it struck me that the Catholics and the Jews really are the OGs of organized religion (sorry, pagans, but a tree ain't going to be smiting nobody). Still, the pagans could make a power-behind-the-throne argument. I mean, is it really just coincidence that Jesus was "born" within spitting distance of the winter solstice and died right around the beginning of April, the old pagan new year? And there is the question of that pine tree in the living room. So, in the spirit of the season, eggnog and goat's blood for all.
