The lord says in the Gita that "Masanam Margasirshoham, Rutunam Kusumakarah" meaning "among th emonths I am Margasirsha and among the seasons I am Spring" Christmas (Margasirsa), and Easter (Spring) are thetwo religious(secular/commercial as wel) festivals here in which most of us participate for one reason or the other and interestingly the months in which they fall are also the favorite times of Lord Krishna. I was delighted to read the additional significance to Margashirsha noted by Mr. Sadagopan. -Tatacahar
