Jeremiah 10:2 KJV Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3* For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4* They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

Practically EVERYTHING about Christmas is pagan, from Christmas trees to gift giving to holy to the meals to … well, everything but the nativities and midnight mass.  Christmas was stolen from pagan holidays called Saturnalia and Yule and other celebrations based on the Winter Solstice, and almost all scholars agree that whenever Jesus was born, it was almost certainly NOT December 25th.

Just because the Christians stole a nice holiday, it doesn’t mean that everyone else has to stop celebrating it.

Merry Happy freakin’ EVERYTHING!

Dear Jesus,

Ever since the war on Christmas was declared (and what a horrible and bloody few years it’s been), I have taken a strong stance against wishing people a generic “happy holidays.” Instead, I greet everyone with whatever specific holiday happ ens to be the closest. Today is Festivus, All this week has been Hanukkah, Monday starts Kwanzaa and tomorrow we celebrate the birth of Ryan Seacrest (the personal savior of American Idol and teeth whitening products). I think there is room for more than just your birthday in December. We can celebrate them all.

Except for maybe Kwanzaa. I think me celebrating that would be akin to me wearing FUBU. It’s just not done.

Love,

Ryan
