Jesusween? Really??

Earlier this week a minister in some town I opted to ignore declared we should have Jesusween rather than Halloween.  My original intent was to mock him.  I have a better idea.  While Jesueween is an idiotic name, we should still change the name of Halloween.  We should call it Christmas.  Here is my logic

Based on the account in the book of Matthew, the shepherds were tending their flock in a near by field. (traditionally shepherds were pre-teen or early teens, and usually girls since the boys were off learning a trade, but I digress).   Under normal circumstances, the shepherds would drive their herds around the countryside looking for open pasture.  These were free range sheep, in the most literal sense of the word.  The only time they tended their flocks in fields was in the fall.  October makes much more sense than December from a historic point of view.

There is no biblical evidence to support Christ's birth in winter.  I have seen arguments for late spring to late Fall.  No one believes it was in December.   The Greek and Russian orthodox churches celebrate in early January.  Then there is the timing of Christmas itself, which is to coincide with the winter solstice and the pagan Yule celebration that went with it.  December 25th is the heathen New Year's Day.

To sum up:
 Halloween should be Christmas.
Christmas should be Yule or just New Years
Jesusween is an idiotic name.
