For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders.

IMPORTANT ASTRONOMICAL ANNOUNCEMENT, /CHRISTMAS/ :  (>>3133)

---

Christians have Christmas
Jews have have Haunakah
East Asian group have Dongzhi (winter solstice) 
Buddhists have Bodhi Day (Budda's enlightenment day)
Islam has nothing because their calendar is funny
Kwanzaa is under 100 years old and therefore does not count as a holiday or culture
So what do the people of Africa and the Middle East do this time of year?

Muslims probably have some form of winter solstice celebration as well, in Iran there's Chelle but it's not an Islamic holiday, it's Persian

As an amateur Astronomer, I think its a lot of fun, personally. After all, there's literally only one second per year the Earth is closest to the Sun, and moving at her highest velocity in orbit around it. Simple as.  :)

There's several other fun facts about it (quite apart from its 100Ky+ importance to humanity in general).
