Where the hell are my presents!
Just a bit of background which a mate wrote up years back (yes, and posted on yahoo answers), It's important to know that the date was chosen to wipe out other religious holidays
It would seem fitting that the birthday of the sun should become the birthday of the "Sun of Resurrection" and one guesses that this was the pagan-Christian blending in the Fathers' minds when they accepted the twenty-fifth of December as the Christmas date; but there was another pair of Roman feasts, far more popular than Natalis Invicti; the Saturnalia, which lasted from the seventeenth to the twenty-third of December, and the Kalends of January, the first three days of the new year.
The Saturnalia had begun as a feast which broke for a few days through all barriers of class and behaviour- a memory of a golden time when just and kindly Saturn ruled as king, and all men were their master, and women, if they were masked, could flirt with whom they chose. The Kalends was more portentous, full of omens, but homes were decorated with lights and evergreens, and everyone gave presents and invited guests.
the very same to all members and viewers...
@LES nice work...
