@bukkitbrown: I love reading about winter holiday traditions and folklore from all around the world, but this fact will never fail to tickle me. Christmas is basically Yule but with jesus involved

johnnytheholy2 :

Christmas has been celebrated ever since Luke 2:10 (80-90 ad possibly earlier) and Yule was only changed to the same time as Christmas in the dark ages by king Hakon of Norway

DaddyLush :

Saturnalia was before Yule fyi

Greg Atlas :

Yup! They added Norse winter solstice traditions to Christmas to make Christianity more attractive and get the Vikings to convert!

Xlandral :

All holidays are valid, it doesn't matter what religion they came from

LostZombie85 :

Christ is King !!!!!!

The Book Wyrm :

As a Christian and very proud of my Irish heritage I LOVE learning about the origins of Christmas and incorporating tradition and my religion into my celebration

kingofphinland :

A lot of the Christmas traditions are from Saturnalia, and they just added more from Yule when they tried to convert the Norse.
