Merry Christmas
gpt
Yup. We're Celebrating Yule for Christmas. Take away all the traditional Christmas imagery and actual Christmas doesn't seem to have much going for it aside from sermon about the birth.

I know more about yuletide than actual Christmas. anybody else feeling this?

I didn't actually do anything. I've been lost in thought. B4 leaving work last night a coworker said to me 'enjoy your holiday' and even though it was spoken kindly it struck in the wording that most likely this is not a holiday for my coworker. I thanked them and we wished each other a good night and I left.

On the way home it occured to me more deeply than common surface knowledge that pretty much all we do for Christmas comes from other faiths that predate Christianity. How is Christmas to be observed? It's not like anything in the source material recommends it. I know how modern Christmas is celebrated but how would the early church have kept it?

I mean even Santa claus in spite being historical doesnt really have anything to do with Christmas which is today somewhere between Yule and Saturnalia.

So I'm just thinking and sipping beers. 


enjoy my holiday... I'd love to but I dont think anybody knows how anymore without all the symbols that have nothing to do with it.
