It's about Winter Solstice. Longest night, shortest day. Dang Christines co-opted it along with all the other older pagan holidays/celestial observances. All Saints' at Halloween (Samhain), St. John the Baptist at Midsummer's Eve.

Big bucks.

Even when you take out the relgious aspects its about children,about family and loved ones.

As Kotori points out there is no actual Christian significance at
Christmas.The Festival was stolen from elsewhere.

As for the rest,it's a nice thought but...

Christmas should not be about keeping up with the Jones's
They are a dysfunctional family and shouldn't be used as role models...ever.

You must know my ex sister in law.. She's a Jones and very dysfunctional..

I always try to keep up with the Smiths myself. They are nice people.

You've always struck me as level-headed freaky.
You're right the Smith's are much better role models.

...probably "perihelion", Earth's closest approach to the Sun.

Perihelion occurs around the 2nd of January and Earth is about 3 million miles closer to the Sun than average.
