The “co-president” of the Freedom From Religion Foundation answered that one on O’Reilly. It’s because the days only get longer from here, so it’s a celebration of coming out of darkness. Of course, that’s just tap dancing so they can explain why they don’t work on Christmas and still give gifts, party, etc.

I plan to call the FFRF today and see if they’re in. Anyone want to make bets? :-)
