Christmas is all about absconding with a Pagan holiday celebrated at the solstice; you know, the annual rebirth of the sun that conveniently occurs just a few days before.
And many of the main features of christmas are stolen directly from the Pagan celebration in a clear attempt to take it over. And what passes for scholarship amongst the religious has long ago determined that if such a person really existed his birth wasn’t any where near the end of December.
So the season has nothing to do with the birth of a Jewish prophet turned into some christian deity and it has everything to do with obscuring a Pagan celebration.
Nothing new really, many of the christian holidays are conveniently located adjacent to older Pagan celebrations. But don’t tell the christians, facts only confuse them and make them angry.
What l like about this comic is that they are siblings, but it’s nice because this is about as mean as they ever get. No knock down drag out fights, no taunting, just a little bit of teasing but that’s it. They are both adorable kids. Unlike in Heart, where Heart is often mean to Dean who is a good kid. I was an only child, but had friends who were a brother and sister. The older sister was pretty hard on her brother, and I knew 3 brothers who were constantly at war. I wanted a brother but never got one.

I’ve used Christmas wrapping for birthday presents. What’s wrong with red and gold birthday wrap? (Just stay away from Santa motifs).
