celebrating a span of a thousand years within the Gregorian Calendar it has
nothing to do with the celebration of Christ's birthday which as you might
have noticed has just passed. Trying to pass off New Year as having any
religious connotation other than we measure from some agreed point in time
in the past vaguely related to the uncertain birth date of JC is stretching
it.
As Eddie Izzard so delicately put it the other night, if JC was born on Dec
25th, wasn't he six days early for his birth?
