…It doesn't really matter who claimed December 25th first, obviously it wasn't Jesus, but cultures have evolved to find meaning on this day near solstice and the year end, and if we presently call it "Christmas" as a cultural artifact, I see no issues here. I'm happy that I can say "Merry Christmas" to just about anyone and the hearer does the needed translation.
Same. Most people are generous in this respect, IME.

Merry Christmas!
I still think you are Lemmie 2.0. The cut and pasting/distortion of actual meaning within context and setting up a false strawman/argument seems to be dead give away.

I’ve heard of females taking male names as they change personas. Not saying that you are definitely her, but you sure do act and behave like her. I haven’t seen her around here lately…

But I could be wrong.

: D. And others think I'm a mod. But seriously, if you're going to identity posters by their techniques, then your definition of "setting up a false argument" needs some serious work. I quoted you! What additional context do you suppose would make it acceptable for you to define people here as "a bunch of godless disbelievers with some blasphemers thrown in to boot.... ???

please, tell us more what you've "heard" about "females taking male names as they change personas." i'm sure there's a fascinating story behind that! :lol: :lol: :lol:

But please, start your own thread on that and stop muddying the waters here. This is the place simply to wish:

Merry Christmas to all!

And a Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating the Winter solstice, the symbolic end of death. May we all look forward to the rebirth of the world as the days grow longer and life wakes from its slumber.

And regardless of any actual connection, I like to remember that it is tomorrow that the world celebrates the Unconquered Sun, Sol Invictus!

Merry Mithras everybody! What a joyous time of the year to welcome the Sol Invictus back to getting brighter and brighter until that fateful June day when it once again gets to wane until dead in December, but then come on back now ya hear? Ah the tidal flow of light and dark, what's not to love in the worldwide mythologcal discussions, stories, monographs, books, articles, words, songs, philosophical tracts, edicts, declarations, revelations, dissertations, and jibes? Don't tell me mythology has nothing to do with reality, when, in point of fact, it is the reality... Merry Christmas all! May the holy mythology shine upon us all.

The snow ❄️ Is falling fast outside of where I am sitting on my couch this Christmas Eve of 2021.

As midnight fast approaches, and the holiness of this night nears its apex, I wish all of you the very best of the season and for a merry and prosperous new year!
