Remember why we celebrate Christmas people.

Define "celebrate".

It exists.

But that is not Santa

He is just one of the people who knows the reason we celebrate Christmas.

Christmas is the time when the barbarians in Northern Europe used to get together to feast in a celebration called Yule.
Later, when Christianity became popular, the officials decided to put Jesus' birthday on this occasion to get people to celebrate it without changing anything about their customs.
At some point, when the poor people realized that the rich guys were all eating really nice stuff on this event (pork), they decided to eat bird (because it was more affordable than the pig).
Later again, the Americans mixed up a few old European Christmas figures and turned them into one strange creature called many names, but most prominently Santa Claus, who got popularized by Coca Cola.

Now they're laughing at the Japanese for getting these traditions wrong.

I thought it was saturnalia.
>>
Wasn't Jesus not aware that Christmas is his birthday (since really, historically speaking, it isn't)?

He thinks Christmas was when Santa perfected the technology of reindeer propulsion.
>>
>>135182570
Jesus's real birthday is not in December.
>>
>>135183354
>implying it's not Johnny Depp posting pics of himself
Should report it as advertising too.
>>
>>135183578
Got a better guess?
>>
>>135183578
where does anything in the op suggest anything about jesus
>>
>>135183511
That's the Romans.

Yule refers to Odin (a Norse God), Saturn is a Roman God.

>>135183578
This nigga knows.

The heathens of the West changed their calendar system, but didn't account for date changes when they did so, so the Christmas is actually on January 7th.
>>
>>135183788
>1st month
>7th day
I can go with that.
>>
>>135183788
why do you keep bringing up jesus

there's nothing at all to suggest jesus is related to christmas in the op

it's just johnny depp explaining the true meaning of christmas
>>
>>135183788
>The heathens of the West changed their calendar system, but didn't account for date changes when they did so,
The calendar was literally changed because feast days like easter were not taking place at the correct time.
Educate yourself

>>135183595
The bible doesn't say when exactly he was born and everything else is also not that reliable so pick whatever day you enjoy except the 21st of July, because I've already got that one covered.
>>
>>135184206
Then wank away, anally molested child
>>
>>135184236
>Jesus was born on September 11
>>
>>135184356
While we're at it, could somebody please change the retarded names of the late months?
>>
>>135183595
Not December? Because it'll be impossible for a pregnant woman to travel in freezing weather and second: the shepherds were supposed to “abiding in the field” which would be unproductive during December. The normal practice was to keep the flocks in the fields from Spring to Autumn. So the guy who said September has a better guess.
>>
>>135182570
So people can spend money on fancy dinners, going out and gifts that people don't need.
>>
Fuck yeah Santa Claus

Which one of them?
>>
>>135183578
No, but it is the day we celebrate Jesus being born because we have no clue when it was, assuming it did.
>>
>>135184206
You going to hell.
