Another holliday 'True-meaning' journal.
7 years ago
So, as many of you have seen I've had a journal up about Easter, and how it's NOT a Christian holiday at all.
Well, guess what...
CHRISTMAS ISN'T EITHER!!!
That's right. The whole thing about the 'true meaning of Christmas', that has been shoveled like manure from religious types, IS BULLSHIT!
A Majority of our Holiday traditions around Christmas date back to a holiday called Yule, which was always celebrated around the Winter Solstice. In many places, Yule would feature a festival and feasting around a large tree with many candles in it's branches. They'd let the candles burn until the whole tree catches fire. The festival continues until the fire burns out. Which is where our modern Christmas Tree tradition comes from.
And that's also where the tradition of giving gifts came from as well.
The Christian narrative about Jesus's birth, and that being the origin of Christmas is Horseshit. In fact, historical records pretty well prove that he wasn't even born during that time of year, at all. And that's if you believe the Jesus story At All.
So yeah... Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Happy Hollidays.
