Author: The Legend of Zelda http://christmas.urbanup.com/9468022. (christmas) (1430↑, 341↓)A celebration of humanity dating back thousands of years. It originated as a pagan celebration of the birth of the Sun, as it was celebrated on the winter equinox, and after that point, days got longer. When the Catholics/ Christians took over these pagan peoples, they replaced their holiday with their own Birth of the Son, (as in of God) to make the transition to Christianity's traditions easier. The idea of Santa Claus and his reindeer was created in the 1800s, and is loosely based on St. Nicholas, who gave random presents to people. The idea of a christmas tree dates back to German celebrations of Christmas thousands of years ago. They used an evergreen tree to symbolize life and hope in dark times, and hung apples on it. In modern times, it has again lost its religious meaning and is now used as a time of secular "joy." People spend the time with their family or friends and exchange gifts, a tradition from the Birth of Jesus. (As it is the birthday of the Lord, and people can't give Him material gifts, they exchange them with others.)Christmas happens every year, whether we like it or not.

Author: import_killer http://christmas.urbanup.com/165139512. (christmas) (126↑, 14↓)The date of December 25th probably originated with the ancient "birthday" of the son-god, Mithra, a pagan deity whose religious influence became widespread in the Roman Empire during the first few centuries A.D. Mithra was related to the Semitic sun-god, Shamash, and his worship spread throughout Asia to Europe where he was called Deus Sol Invictus Mithras. Rome was well-known for absorbing the pagan religions and rituals of its widespread empire. As such, Rome converted this pagan legacy to a celebration of the god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god during the winter solstice period. The winter holiday became known as Saturnalia and began the week prior to December 25th. The festival was characterized by gift-giving, feasting, singing and downright debauchery, as the priests of Saturn carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession throughout the Roman temples.Jesus was not born on December 25th. He was 33 1/2 when he died on Nisan 14 which is in April. Do the math.

Author: Spenc3rr http://christmas.urbanup.com/266318719. (christmas) (106↑, 15↓)An ancient Roman Pagan festival that was given a "Christian" name in the fouirth century. Even though no one knows the date of Jesus Christs birth, it is for certain that it could not have been on Dec. 25th. Yet, people lie and say that Jesus was born on this day- and then they participate in all the old pagan customs, as if that honors Christ. Think about it- what does putting a pine tree in your living room have to do with Jesus? Would Jesus approve of a huge lie that is perpetuated on kids every year about Santa Claus? Why do Protestants celebrate a Catholic holiday- Christs' Mass?Real Christians don't celebrate the Pagan, Catholic holiday of Christmas\!

Author: S. A. Jackson http://christmas.urbanup.com/275951744. (Christmas) (18↑, 13↓)My favorite holiday and time of year. A holiday created by the early Christian Church to celebrate the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, around 6-3 B.C. This is the REAL meaning of the holiday and it has NOTHING to do with an old, fat geezer giving gifts to kids. Jesus was NOT born on December 25th, as many people believe. That is just the date that was selected by the early Church to remember his birth. He was actually born sometime in the Spring, to fulfill prophecy. Christmas is a time people present gifts to each other to commemerate God's gift to humanity--Jesus, God's begotten Son. The Christmas tree represents Christ's sacrifice on the cross. The red colors we see signify his shed blood. The legend of Santa Clause is almost entirely pegan and has almost NOTHING to do with Jesus. The idea of Santa Clause came from Saint Nicholas in the Middle Ages, who gave gifts to children at Christmas. The idea of flying reindeer guided by one that has a red nose as a light is complete hogwash. And I have no idea how the sleigh came about. Santa Clause is depicted as an old, fat man with a white beard and likes to eat snacks left by children on Christmas Eve. According to urban legend, Santa Clause will not drop by until all all children are asleep. I have no idea how the idea of stockings and coal came about.No matter what Christmas means to people, it is the most celebrated holiday of the year.

In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25. Raucous partying, gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift-giving were traditions of this feast. In Rome, the Winter Solstice was celebrated many years before the birth of Christ. The Romans called their winter holiday Saturnalia, honoring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. In January, they observed the Kalends of January, which represented the triumph of life over death. This whole season was called Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun. The festival season was marked by much merrymaking. In 313 AD Emperor Constantine converted the Roman Empire to Christianity so stop it from engulfing itself in civil war. December 25th, a highly spiritual day already, became a prime day for Christianity's savior to be born.red a fucking book on Christmas

Over the past century, western society has gradually warped this very important holiday into a disgusting commercial event. The once potent and religious importance of this time has been eaten away by the heart of Corporate America. Capitalism has twisted Christmas into means to make as much money as possible.I hope that I get everything I want this year, like that Old Navy hoodie, after I spent so much money on buying expensive gifts for my family last year.

Christmas is just an exucuse the retailers and toy companies use to make more $$. It is disgusting and deplorable. I love the holiday but get disgusted at all the commercialism. I have no idea what snowmen, tinsel, mistletoe, stockings, wreaths, eggnog, flying reindeeer and Santa Clause have to do with the real meaning of Christmas.Christmas has been turned into a holiday which has become almost totally pegan. So pagan that political correctness wont' even allow us to use the word CHRISTMAS anymore, for fear it will "offend" those who do not practice a religion. It has been replaced with words or phrases like The Holidays, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings. How stupid\!\!

Author: Kung-Fu Jesus http://christmas.urbanup.com/65756282. (christmas) (10↑, 13↓)Originally a celebration of the sun for the vikings in Europe. When christianity showed its ugly face in Europe, the Vikings where converted, and to compensate for the loss of their day of celebration, they claimed Jesus was born on this day. In Denmark, a certain type of porridge is still a very common thing to eat as one of the things for dinner at the 24th. Also, in (northern europe at least) Europe, gifts are unwrapped in the evening of the 24th of December, usually somewhat after dinner.Oh my, didn't christianity rape this aspect of our lives as well ?
Author: eviscerator http://christmas.urbanup.com/58392883. (Christmas) (5↑, 8↓)A holiday on the 25th of December. It is originally meant to celebrate the birth of Christ, but in recent times has also become a secular holiday of sorts, with Santa Claus as its icon. The celebration of Christmas varies between cultures form highly religious to highly secular, but in the West it is usually a combination. Some say, with good reason, that it has become overly commercial. Though its commercialization is parallel to its secularization, it is not an unavoidable result of secularization.Merry Christmas\!
