Sorry, CB, as usual, you are wrong:

trying to link Christmas and Christ with Tammuz is incorrect

Tammuz, the Sumerian deity was forgotten before the Neo-Babylonian empire collapsed. And the feast was:
1. celebrated according the old Sumerian calendar which does not gel with ours (you can compare a lunar based with a solar base but the days change each year) and
2. in general a summer feast.
3. Dec 21 would be the death of Tammuz with the winter solstice -- a time for mourning, not celebrating....

Do read up before shooting false facts all the time

Show me where I connected Tamuz with Christmas. I didn’t because Tamuz is not connected to Christmas. Do understand the post before shooting false assumptions.
