Not a fedora. I actually wish they did that more often.
>>78208160
They do it very often, desu. Not that it is an obligation. Christams is actually about the winter Solstice. Christians displaced the birthdate of Jesus from June to December because the celebration of the solstice was too popular to force people to quit it.

FUCK!
I was certain I had typed to be honest in lain letters.

>Christams is actually about the winter Solstice.
The Solstice was never celebrated on the 25th.

December 25th was celebrated as Christ's birthday long before the Empire became Christian.

According to the goddamn bible itself, Jesus was born in spring, you Neanderthal.

The calendar has got sliding date because of miscalculation. It ballparked around that time.

No, he wasn't.
Around June, maybe eraly may. 4 to 6 years before himself.

Orrr they simply took a common festival time and said "Let's celebrate Jesus here instead of *just* eating and drinking"
I mean, this isn't exactly the "Checkmate Christalures" some people think it is.

This is exactly what I said.
Nothing I have siad contradict what you said and I wasn't trying to checkmate anyone.
All I stated is that Jesus is actually mentioned quite often in Christmas show/episodes.
>>78208542
Saying that the history of the holiday makes " Christams is actually about the winter Solstice" isn't true though.
What happened is that they took a winter holiday and made it about Jesus. What the holiday was about changed.

This is just a fucking Christmas thread. Little discussion is going on about comics or cartoons.
>>78208231
Fun fact: When you're sitting next to the tree in your living room on 24th/25th December you are in fact celebrating Christmas and not Yule or Saturnalia
>>78208602
Funny thing is, Christmas is really about getting together and eating and drinking though, nowadays.
>>78208681
Actually, I am celebrating Noël.
>>78208700
It was always chiefly about that. Just had a few more borderline insane matriarchs and patriarchs lowering the tone of the room with MUH JESUS in your grandparents time.
>>78208681
what tree? I'm celebrating being able to spent time with my family for the first time in over a year
>>78208681
I am Catholic, so, I actually do. But a lot of the people I know celebrate Christmas without caring about the christians thing. it's really more of a traditional date for familly reunion than anything really religious.
>>78208810
Christmas was always a liturgical celebration, and that doesn't change because people want to take it to the lowest common denominator and make it another feel good festival.
>>78208426
No. There's no proof of that.
>>78208751
>Another name for Christmas. French noel (“Christmas season”)
You can't trick me

Spirituality was hardly the point of my post, Christmas may originate in several winter-solstice/giving-some-freedom-to-slaves-inspired festivals, but the point of modern christmas (and ancient for that matters) is not about winter solstice as the piror post implied, equating Christmas with Yule and Saturnalia is as retarded as equating these two with each other
It was actually the pagans who tried to impose their celebrations over Christmas when Julian the Apostate moved the feast of Sol Invuctus to the 25th to co-opt Christmas.

You wanna talk about the starwars christmas episode then?

>not wanting to argue about religion 24/7
>>78208984
For a lot of people, it's not celebrating jesus's birth either. he matter just as much as Yule and Saturnalia.
>>78208984
Dude, winter solstice is not solely about Yule and Saturnalia. It's about the coming back of the long days.
You can pinpoint on Christmas an accountable amount of deity celebration, it all come back to the solstice.
>>78207822
I remember Big O did that, though they only refer to it as "the birth of our lord". I'm sure that counts, right?
>>78208231
>Christians displaced the birthdate of Jesus from June to December because the celebration of the solstice was too popular to force people to quit it.
It's a religious celebration not a birthday, it always has been. People bring this up like it changes /why/ people celebrate Christmas..

You do realize Jesus wasn't actually born on Christmas right?
