doesn't christmas have literally nothing to do with christianity?
the traditions of christmas come from a time right after 40% of all honkies died, leaving almost 2x as much lumber available per person, so the average peasant stocked up twice as much for the winter and needed to put some of the trees inside and they eventually decorated them bc it looked nice
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "honkey"?
it's when you get really bad road rage
Not in the Middle East. Though people in Palestine used to celebrate another god's birth before Christianity. Birth of Dushara
so was Jesus' birthday really in December?
It was around the winter solstice, but the date moved. Orthodox Churches in the Arab world such as the Coptic Church celebrate it in January.
