Your statement regarding why Christmas is in December instead of the historically more accurate Spring, is a slight exaggeration. More accurately, compare it to Hanukah, a minor celebration (much like Whitsuntide in Christianity) which was forced to major by a major secular holiday of Greeday (also called Christmas). It was the subtle, but powerful, cultural influence, rather than a conscious competition.
“That’s as semantically empty as a tarot card reading. Tarot readings are always true, because they are so general and vague that you will always be able to apply them to your own situation.”

My horoscope once said:
TIME TO START A NEW LOVE AFFAIR.
.
A new one?
What happened to the old one?
Or even the FIRST one?
.
I’ve never believed in astrology;
we Libras are too balanced for that foolishness.

If we’re lucky Trump might go the way of William Henry Harrison.
