I have heard that they actually believe that he was born in the Spring -closer to Easter really.

Yes I heard that, too, just merged it with the pagan thingy, what's it called, yule.

Erm, that "pagan thingy" you refer to is Yule, in December, on the Solstice (21st) to celebrate the shortest day of the year and the return of the light to the world. Our easter is called Ostara, Spring Equinox, and we do actually use eggs and lambs etc to demonstrate new life and potential new life in the early spring.

I know you meant no disrespect, but paganism and Wicca are valid 'religions" or 'sprirtualisms" - I would never refer to Christianity as 'that Jesus thingy" or to Judaism as "that Jewish thingy" - I would appreciate your choosing your words more carefully - this was hurtful to me, whether you meant it or not.
