Every year at this time I hear the same ole’ shit about Christmas being too commercial and that Christ is being taken out of Christmas.
Every year I write to the papers and remind these so called Christians that this time of year was a pagan holiday for thousands of years; the Romans called it Saturnalia.
It was a “natural” holiday celebrating the end of one year and the start of a new year. People were happy and they celebrated.
In come the Christians – let us put a stop to all this vile, pagan merriment making – let us turn it into a Christian holiday! How about celebrating the birth of Jesus – but we don’t know when he was born – so what, we can make it up and those idiots will have to believe us and then this pagan celebration will be a Christian celebration – the end justifies the means – right?
We still have a lot of pagan traditions left over (Yule log, tree, etc.) but those that bitch about how the holiday is celebrated need to learn the facts about it before they go on gripping that Christ is left out.
We are after all, natural pagans just doing what comes naturally.
