Why Christmas?
It was a Pagan feast, assimilated by the Christian Church.
I hope you do know where the pine tree and the candles come from? |
So why can't pagans celebrate Christmas in the future? It's more than just a holiday for Christians. I think science fiction should have a lot to say about the rituals of Christmas in the future.
Or are you just mad that there's no International Trolls Day? |
Well,
the thing is "Christmas" is the Christian name for the celebration, i forgot the pagan name for it, but basicly, the feast is celebrated because the longest day just ended and the sun is coming back.
Ofcourse this only applies to the northern hemisphere of the world, and even then ....
So pagans can not cellebrate christmas, because it is a christian celebration. Technically speaking ofcourse. |

I have a Chinese friend who enjoys Star Trek. Yet, he complains that they mix up Asian ethnicities.
Harry Kim = Chinese actor
