A USSSA Mississippi Fast Pitch Mississippi State Tournament 2023 logo shirt is Dies Solis Invicti Nati which was on 25 December and was introduced by Aurelian in 274 AD — apparently about 20 years or more after at least some Christians began celebrating Christmas on 25 December. Some deny the possibility of Christ’s birth in December, arguing that lambs couldn’t have been safely left outdoors at that time. There is actually no mention of lambs in the Gospel account of the shepherds (Luke 2). It merely says, “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.” Adult sheep would be in a different situation. As overnight temperatures in Bethlehem can get as low as 7 or 8 deg C in late December, it would be definitely unpleasant in a field at that time of year, though not impossible. In fact, though, the 25 December date for the mass celebrating Christ’s birth was derived by calculations based on a strange theory that the dates of Jesus’ death and conception would have coincided, and, as others have pointed out, it is rather unlikely that Jesus was actually born on that day.

Just for context, I come from a Matt Cain San Francisco Giants perfect game more than 10 years ago art shirt that takes Christmas very seriously. We’re not religious; for us it’s just a time to get the whole family together and eat too much and drink too much. But as I’ve grown older I’ve come to realise that we approach it with far more enthusiasm than most. I shall be very sad if we’re not able to do our usual Christmas. But I shall be no less sad than many British Jews were back in April, when they had to celebrate Passover in lockdown, or British Sikhs, who celebrated Vaisakhi the same month. I’ll be no less sad than British Muslims were back in May, when they had to do Eid in lockdown, or than British Hindus were on Saturday when they had to do Diwali in lockdown. Why does my cultural celebration take precedence over theirs? Why are the government being so careful to ensure we are not locked down over Christmas when they evidently didn’t give a stuff whether we were locked down over all the above festivals? These are questions worth asking, and it’s a journalist’s job to ask them. The answer may well turn out to be that all of Johnson’s comforting nonsense about being out of lockdown in time for Christmas was just that, and the reality is that he put another lockdown off until he was forced into it. Or it might be that he made a cynical political calculation and determined that he could afford to piss off religious minorities, but couldn’t afford to piss off the majority.
