Did You Know There Is Old Christmas




January the sixth for many years was Christmas Day.
How is this possible?
Because it was said the cattle lowered themselves at midnight and the other animals gave homage to the Lord on this day.
It was by someone's decision to change it to December 25th.
For they, in their minds knew, one week from this date would be the first day of January.
It didn't take a rocket scientist to determine this but it was adapted.
What became of old Christmas Day?
It was totally forgotten by the people and for the young it never occurred to them.
I would rather  see the cattle lowering themselves and the other animals in accordance with the real Christmas Day than now.
But, alas, it isn't to be and mankind has had his way once again to take away something which is with meaning and destroying it for the good of all.
I still believe there is a right to celebrate the sixth of January as Christmas Day.
