Paulcraw, Puritans left England so THEY could persecute others for their religion, not because they were persecuted.

Thats exactly right! Christmas is not a Christian holiday. Its been proven Christ was born in the fall of the year, not wintertime. Shepherds were abiding in the fields when he was born; and shepherds wouldnt have been out in the fields during the cold winter.
