So what you're saying is that European Christians The Shrike Send a noteboard - 22/11/2017 02:17:07 AM

made Christmas better by coopting themes and motifs from pre-Christian rituals that they then combined with Northern European, specifically Germanic, celebration customs. Sounds good to me.

Everything I love about Christmas is essentially secular/Germanic.

I'm so glad they didn't eat turkey - it gives me more ammunition when I refuse to eat turkey Tom - 21/11/2017 05:19:04 PM 635 Views
I didn't eat a turkey for Thanksgiving until my 20s. Growing up it was either goose or duck. The Shrike - 21/11/2017 05:24:35 PM 600 Views
It causes issues every year Tom - 21/11/2017 08:29:56 PM 672 Views
Just lie and tell them you've become vegetarian. The Shrike - 22/11/2017 12:55:08 AM 619 Views
That would be worse! Tom - 22/11/2017 05:04:57 PM 614 Views

It's a recurring theme of history Cannoli - 22/11/2017 01:44:21 PM 641 Views
Wait...Jesus wasn't an Aryan? Why would the Führer ever lie to me? Tom - 22/11/2017 05:07:55 PM 638 Views
I would have liked to have seen some of those pictures. Cannoli - 22/11/2017 11:10:11 PM 639 Views
It's been around since at least 1965 and is still in print. Tom - 22/11/2017 11:29:57 PM 703 Views
That's just...wrong. I can't imagine taking a blond god seriously enough to worship *NM* Cannoli - 23/11/2017 08:09:17 AM 335 Views
I don't know. Have you seen Chris Hemsworth as Thor? I'd worship that. A lot. The Shrike - 23/11/2017 01:45:19 PM 603 Views
I thought he was red-haired, pre-Marvel. When he was actually worshiped. Cannoli - 24/11/2017 06:15:40 PM 630 Views
Chris Hemsworth is more of a demi god than god to me. Roland00 - 25/11/2017 08:30:08 PM 586 Views
Ancient Greeks also had more blond hair based on descriptions. The Shrike - 23/11/2017 01:42:02 PM 623 Views
Supposedly the light hair and blue eyes led to speculation Tom - 23/11/2017 02:20:17 PM 654 Views
Romans, too. Caesar & Sulla IIRC Cannoli - 24/11/2017 06:17:34 PM 611 Views
I don't remember anything I learned about Thanksgiving, so that's probably fine. nossy - 22/11/2017 08:21:16 AM 917 Views
