| trashleg said: the timing of Christmas coincides with the Pagan holiday of Yule, but Christmas is the Christian holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
edit: i meant to say, before i hit "Post" ... that to clarify, the two holidays are actually separate but yule-tide has been incorporated into Christmas celebrations. |
yule-tide sounds better, im gonna call it that from now on, lol
(also, coincidence? somehow I doubt it, more like when they created christianity, they copied stuff from other pre-existing religions/cultures, of course, go back far enough, and you may well find that yule-tide's timing is influenced by another ancient tradition, lost in the mist of human history)
