Christmas On Other Worlds

Looking pensively at the twinkling lights on our Christmas Tree I pondered what time of year it is on other Worlds in our Solar System. When would Christmas be? And as I'm a December baby how old would I be on our fellow planets?

The answer to this last question, my nine ages, is as follows [in the named planet's years and in order of the planets' positions to the Sun]:
  1. Mercury 203
  2. Venus 79
  3. Earth Top Secret
  4. Mars 26
  5. Jupiter 4
  6. Saturn 1 and a half
  7. Uranus 6 months
  8. Neptune 3 months
  9. Pluto 2 months
I'm just a Plutonian baby! The next time it will be Christmas across the Solar System will be:
  1. Mercury 2011
  2. Venus 2011
  3. Earth 2011
  4. Mars 2012
  5. Jupiter 2021
  6. Saturn 2020
  7. Uranus 2045
  8. Neptune 2126
  9. Pluto 2210
