Are saying that Christmas didn't exist before NY "invented" it?

Hey Buddy, Merry Christmas,

Not only what you said, but religious freedom, which gives us the ‘right’ to celebrate Christmas (though presently under attack)was started in the New World in present day NYC 350 years ago this coming Thursday, Dec. 27.

Saturnalia ends at sun-up, but I will respect the wishes of my Aunt and celebrate Christmas at her house this year.

Clement Clarke Moore developed Chelsea as a planned community with such innovations as "air shafts" to prevent fires. Of course, the world remembers him for inventing the reindeer and sleigh, but the Friends of Dorothy should venerate him for giving them their neighborhood.
