What is the christmas?People say Christmas is all about Presents, Santa Clause or this one guy named Jesus? Well you see those are all fake. We all know that Christmas is all about one thing and that is...... Stockings are hung on the chimney the christmas - videoThe christmas - what is it?60 yr olds+ : "oh no. the family is coming over for lunch. i have to put up with their whingging and mess." it was as if all her christmas's had come at once What does "the christmas" mean?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. The christmas - what does it mean?Christmas is a fun holiday. On Christmas people get presents and who doesnβt like presents. It is also a time to spend time with family and friends. Santa: Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas The christmas - meaningA widely celebrated end-of-the-year profit scam. Ah, Christmas... the time to total your credit cards in complete disregard of Jesus Christ's birthday. The christmas - definitionA 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. The christmas - slangThe celebration of the birth of commercialism... Oh yea, and Jesus. I'm gonna set up traps to kill Santa. The christmasA collection of tradition's from all sorts of European pagan holidays around the time of the Winter Solstice. It used to be a violent party, but somehow became a family holiday. The Church hated Christmas, until they realised that they could "convert" it to Christianity. They claimed that Jesus was born on this day and badaboom badabing, ba-humbug. Now it's alright, I suppose. Child: Yay! It's Christmas! What did you get me daddy?

I wonder if the happy chubby dude left me any presents!!"

"How was your Christmas?" |
