The Story Of Christmas
🕑 Added 2024-12-10 21:38:30 +0000 UTCIt's that time of year when Twitter and TikTok try to convince everyone that Christmas is pagan. Which means it's that time of year when I have to explain that no, Christmas is not pagan. The easiest way I could think to do that was to distill the transcripts of our two videos discussing Christmas into one article, which I've shared with you all here (and for free!)

Interesting article. When my daughter was in preschool, I told her about St. Nicholas (didn't know then the story was different than I'd been told). She asked me if he was dead. I told her yes, only to have her go to school and announce to 10 other children that Santa Claus was dead.

I look forward to reading it even more now. I'm very much enjoying the YouTube channel, and I'm still on the missing 411. I enjoy the Non- European History.

That’s why I shared the document. It wasn’t co-opted.

Doesn't the name say it all? Christmas isn't Pagan. Wasn't the date/vibe co-opted from some sort of Germanic Celebration? It's easier to get Vercingetorix to celebrate your God, if he already has a celebration on his birthday
