I do have a question (or two).
What makes you think there is a connection with December 25 and the birth of Christ?
Festivus is a winter celebration. If you don't want to join in on our reindeer games, that's on you. Romans 14:5 5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. It's not a religious day and never meant to be. But neither is Christmas. Another man made celebration day. YMMV.

Dec. 25th as Christmas has been celebrated since at least the 300s when it appears in the Chronography of 354 and the writings of St. John Chrysostom. According to him, the Roman Christians got the date directly from the census records.

And in support of that idea, the Roman author Hippolytus mentions the birth of Christ on Dec. 25th...he wrote around the year 200.

And anyway, even if it were invented last year, the idea that man *shouldn’t* celebrate the birth of the Savior here on earth is just plain Puritanical idiocy.
