Well. It's Saturnalia/Yule/Festival of the Lights/'Winter Solstice'/etc, etc time of year. Christ's birth was (most likely) in /September,/ you people. Another example of the Church trying to take a 'pagan' holiday and change it to a christian holiday. (See: Easter)

Amusingly, the first two hits for a Google search for 'Saturnalia' gives you the comic, not the holy day. Also, I realize that Winter Solstice isn't a holy day so much as an Astronomical event, but still. People thousands of years ago noted it, it's getting a mention here.
