Except it's not a christian holiday, its Saturnalia, that's why you have a Tree in your house. These people are not serious, they ignore history to fit their cristofacist narrative that they somehow have a monopoly on a holiday season that sees more than 15 different holidays from current religions.

This world has gone nuts. Christmas has the very word that they are complaining about in it. If these nuts don't like it then don't look at it.

Christmas is actually not a Christian holiday didn’t originate by the Christians had nothing to do with Jesus. It actually originated as a pagan holiday.

Can't we all just get along for 1 F'N day. If it isn't the Atheists, it's the Anti Gay or the Anti Vaxers, or those morons at Iron Energy. Just shut up and enjoy life.

Yes it is a Christian holiday. None of the pagan holidays turned into Christmas nor were on the same date. If you looked up the origin of the pagan holidays none were on December 25 originally.justbreathe7 wrote: ↑Dec 12th, 2024, 4:20 pm Christmas is actually not a Christian holiday didn’t originate by the Christians had nothing to do with Jesus.

Sorry, you are mistaken. Saturnalia was never on December 25. It was always 14 days before January which definitely doesn't calculate to December 25. It was a separate festival for a different time. It lasted for several days but didn't even overlap with Christmas.fred104 wrote: ↑Dec 12th, 2024, 3:53 pm Except it's not a christian holiday, its Saturnalia, that's why you have a Tree in your house.

And the Tree tradition didn't start in Saturnalia, it was much later.

The Christians glommed on to the solstice celebrations. And they took over the may planting ceremonies & called it easter,
As an atheist I very much enjoy christmas, especially the parties, lights, food and getting and giving prezzies.
