Grav-mass is a fictitious, humor-laiden winter holiday established by Richard Stallman. It is celebrated on December 25 (in the New Style, January 4), Isaac Newton's birthday. Stallman's web site reads:

"Merry Grav-mass!

On December 25, Isaac Newton's birthday, we celebrate the existence of comprehensible physical laws. Remember, Gravitation is a well-established scientific theory, but Intelligent Falling is just religion disguised as science."

[edit] Rationale

Stallman is an atheist and chooses not celebrate Christmas, which is a widely practiced religious and secular holiday in the United States and other countries.
