No, 'Christmas' is the bastardized version of pagan yule celebrations, with a 'birth' tacked on that didn't actually happen in December, for a 'god' that not everyone believes in. There are dozens of other holidays going on at this EXACT SAME TIME.

Shocking, i know.

[(Anonymous)]

First, that's a massive simplification at best.

Second, even if Christmas is a Christianization of a pre-existing pagan tradition, that doens't mean that it's literally *the same as* those pagan holidays. It's kind of its own distinct thing, you know

[tabaqui]

It's really not. Yule was taken over by the Xians so they could a) allow the masses to celebrate on the day they were familiar with, but replacing *why*, and b)to gain control over and then supplant the old rites. It's not like this isn't common knowledge.

And it's not it's 'own distinct thing' - the miracle birth of a baby that's actually a divine whatever is not unique at all.

I mean, Dionysus, good gods.

IT'S SUMMER! FUCK OFF, FROSTY!

[tabaqui]

I...am unfamiliar with this quote.

This, so much this, thank you.

It's just so weird to me that there are still people out there who believe Christmas - as it's currently celebrated - is all about Christianity and Jesus. I and almost all my friends and family are atheist, or at the very least agnostic, and we all still celebrate Christmas.

[tabaqui]

Yes! So very strange. And to be so *possessive* of it, as if no one else has a right to the sentiments, the celebrations, the day itself.

[(Anonymous)]

Not to mention Nordic countries calls it variations of "Yule".

[tabaqui]

Yup.
