Its christmas again.....Not to happy. Have to work from 6pm the 24th to 12pm the 25th. Meaning I will be so tired that I wont be able to see my cousins open the presents I got them. But that is not the worst of it. I was in an accident last night with a damn barbed wire fence. It got all wrapped around my car and I was not able to go into work

(i randomly stumbled into you're journal if you're wondering)

The original holiday was a midwinter feast, Yule. The christians plonked their holidays on top of the heathen seasonal festivals in order to convert them. Easter, was of course Ostara, a spring festival. the 25th of december was associated also with the birth of Mithras, the bull god. Yule (I think, this isn't backed up?) was celebrating the return, or rebirth of the sun. Thus, it was a logical place to put it.

Sun God, Son of God.... not much difference. LOL!
