It must have been at one point, but now it's just an FTP gateway into an empty server. Not sure if joke site, or taken down. How many people actually checked to see if this site was real?

The error is so small it is only really noticeable over centuries. Something like a change of 3 days every 400 years. So actually, Christmas and the Winter Solstice were once exactly the same date.

Sounds good, but FALSE! Chrismas is based on the holiday for the Winter Solstice and the birthday of, get this, <i>the Greek-pagan sun god <b>Helios!</b></i> Chrismas is held on the day that it is because the newly formed religion of Christianity wanted to make the conversion form paganism to Christianity as easy as possible. By all estimates, Jesus was actually born sometime in March “Christmas isn’t Christmas without Christ” is asaying I used to hear often.
