Goofynina and Epoman - Gone But Not Forgotten

The natives established themselves in small communities and came to call the island Liamuiga, or "fertile land".  This name most likely arose from the lush tropical vegetation and crops that must have grown around the central mountain in the island's rich volcanic soil.

So sorry, Goofynina.  You gave the name given the original inhabitants (none of them survived).  The present official name of St.Kitts is St.Christopher.

Depending on the resource:
Christmas was celebrated on many different dates before the 200 A.D. The first Christmas is said to be celebrated on many dates before settling on the 25th of December. It is said that the first Christmas was celebrated in the 15th century in Victorian Britain. The idea of celebrating Christmas on the 25th of December as Jesus Christ’s birthday was first made famous by ‘Sextus Julius Africanus’ somewhere in 221 AD.
--or--
The first Christmas was celebrated on December 25, AD 336 in Rome.
--or--
History tells us that the first Christmas was celebrated around A.D. 90. Deciding that Christmas would be celebrated on December 25 wasn't settled until the end of the fourth century.
--or--
The first Christmas was celebrated in December of 224 AD. December was chosen, of course, not because of Jesus� birthday (which was in March) but to replace the pagan holiday of Saturnalia, the feast of the vernal (autumn) Equinox.

Endarterectomy is the general term for the surgical removal of plaque from an artery that has become narrowed or blocked. (That's gotta hurt!)  :-\
