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

    You do realise we can work out your Earth age from the others, don't cha? (grins)
