One of the many Yogi Berra immortal sayings also applies to Christmas which is either bad news or good news depending on how you feel about Christmas. Christmas began being celebrated on December 25 officially around 336 CE though the date of the birth of Jesus is never mentioned in the Bible and scholars feel it is more likely he was a spring baby. Now for the "It Ain't Over" part...the time for Christmas is further complicated by the differences between the Julian and Gregorian calendars which is why Armenian Apostolic prefer January 6 to celebrate while most Oriental and Eastern Orthodox churches observe Christmas on January 7.
