    Well done!! this is an excellently written documentary. You can really see why people used to traditionally tell ghost stories at Christmas - and thus A Christmas Carol, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas! I'm a pagan, and we've been slowly Yule-izing our Christmas celebrations. I'll have to see if we can incorporate some of the ideas here into our traditions!

      Then start by celebrating Yule on the 21sr of December. Halloween as a rememberance day of relatives that have past, instead of the stupid American trick or treat, with the hideous costumes. Then you can start to celebrate the other festivals such as spring and summer.

    I've always told people I celebrate christmas out of tradition as an atheist sometimes I get crap for celebrating it but now you've given me a more in depth reason to explain to people why I celebrate christmas, because i've always known that the celebration itself has deeper n longer roots than christianity and that you don't have to be of any faith or religion to observe this holiday.
    That it's about people and celebrating each other and our love and finding the light n good in one another. Thank you! Wonderfully executed video

      As a Atheist myself as well , I can fully understand the strugle in explaining to the christians why I celebrate Christmas ! I always knew that Christmas was not a Christian celebration but one which was stollen for gaining power over the mass . Funny enought , no matter how much you try to explain , majority will never understand the true roots of Christianity .

      Yule (Yul/Yol) was celebrated by the Norse on the full moon following the winter solstice. The winter solstice celebration wasn’t as specific as today’s calculations, and was held for many days if not weeks (or until the alcohol was exhausted). Christians likely combined them but they were separate events with differing rituals and traditions.

    I do very much agree that the art is absolutely beautiful. The historical info, is yes, thought provoking at best. It saddens me though, that many choose pagan worship. Yes, I agree that Christmas since its practice with whomever invented it, is both magical & bittersweet bc of the obvious rituals taken from pagan rituals. Padre God forgive us all. Many of you have nice thoughts & yes, I believe its a start to many of being able to come together in peace as long as we believers of the Gospel are not pulled into added pagan worship n practices as stated here. Again, thought provoking n truly appreciate this. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"

    Definitely touching into my Germanic roots this Winter and partaking in Yule festivities: home made gifts to loved ones, creating a decorative Yule log, and writing new year wishes on scraps of paper, and wedging the paper into pine cones and burning them on New Years! And maybe a little Serbian tradition with magic shroomies on Christmas Eve 😂🍄🌲

      I'm sorry....yes WE ARE ALL EVIL by nature bc we are human. The "unjustly rewarded" sounds like you're enjoying the many Blessings you enjoy & perhaps do not quite appreciate? I pray you choose to seek Padre God via His Begotten Son Yeshua, your/our Saviour. It doesn't mean that you won't sin, just that your life IF repented sincerely & give him your life, shall grow in spirit & all else, as if being born again through the Holy Spirit. Acknowledging ALOT of the pagan acts you/we act upon out of cultural teachings does NOT mean you have to continue. It won't be easy to turn away, for many even so called Christians shall belittle you bc there are so many Christian Nationalists that belueve otherwise these days. Then there are those of us that have been distancing ourselves n gradually turning away from so much of these pagan celebrations. I encourage you to look into the Jewis Christian Churches n study, pray & fellowship. I too look forward to the same. Meanwhile, I wish you peace, wisdom, courage & strength, for choosing RIGHT is never easy. It is so worth it. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"

    Krampus is depicted in horror movies. One lesser known movie of the 'folklore' legend (and preferred) is Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale 2010 ‧ Horror/Fantasy ‧ 1h 25m. It is in Finnish language but for me, well worth it. Great film (Stars real life father and son)
    Love❤ the almost 'comical' ending that turns Krampus into a more traditional Santa.

    Jeremiah 10:3-6 KJV 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.” 6“Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.”
    Alot of people have no idea that the "Xmas" Tree is in the Bible. It's a Pagan Practice from long ago.
    Jesus has NOTHING to do with Xmas. If Elizabeth (John The Baptist Mother) was 6 months pregnant when Mary (Jesus mother) came to Elizabeth to announce Jesus was in the womb, John leaped in his mother's belly. If John the Baptist was born on Passover, Then Jesus had too have been born in September-October. Yum Kapor? Day of Atonement or Feast of the Trumpets? He surely fits in both Holy Days. Maybe this is why Jesus always spoke of a Harvest.

    I have long known that our Saviour Yeshua was NOT BORN the 25th of December. However; I also understand, (albeit do not agree) the why it was decided to pick December close to the end of the year in celebrating our Saviour's birth & life. For our Saviour Yeshua is alive & well. I do NOT worship as most do, I worship the same everyday & appreciate the beauty of decoration, the magical sense of increased charity, harmony & peace. Yes, sadly Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter has sadly become so commercialized. However, that doesn't have to be for everyone. Comforming is a choice, not a must witb these celebrations. Yes, most sadly are caught in the splendor & falseness that is so embedded outside of the true spirit of our Saviour Yeshua's birth & life. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"

    Saturnalia was suppressed by the Catholic Church, NOT the Jewish Christian Church. CC used Saint Peter's death n near he was buried to build its Church. CC was unable to erase the Roman pagan December pagan celebrations thus combining some of those pagan rituals into the CC manner of worship. CC has been deceiving its parishioners for centuries, preying on the weak. Fortunately, many have left the CC, like myself & my family. The Masionic Christian Jewish have a approximate date as to our Yeshua's birth, also His death & approximate when He rose again. What matters, is that HE IS ALIVE & WELL. He & Heavenly Padre weep no doubt for those of you whom choose to worship other God's & practice rituals for self edification. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"

    This documentary shows only the half truth.
    Christmass is celebrated because of the many heresies in the fourth century AC. Athanasius and other Church fathers stressed that Christ was born Divine and equal to the Father and not became God at the end or after resurrection. Christmass was first celebrated somewhere in februari and wasn't the most important feast day. That is Eastern, Theophany and Pentecost. These are much older feasts.
    Later Christmass was moved to december to replace the Pagan feasts.

    Around the 15:53 mark, things go really sideways in the picture as one woman (I think it's a woman, who can tell? AI much?) backs up and loses her arms and the person right in front of her turns her head and as the camera moves closer to her, the head falls forward and off the body. Not a fan of AI videos but this one is the cream de la cream. You got me, I want to see what other absurd things happen because AI has no idea how people move still. They are great imitators but still miss the mark so horribly bad that it is laughable. I can't believe that the person who asked AI to make this video for them didn't at least watch it to try to edit it. Very lazy.

      @thepostapocalypse secular is Christmas trees, cards ,Holly, etcetera. Most which come from our pagan beliefs. The sacred is the nativity , angels , the singing of hymns , Christmas carols are more secular , deck the halls with boughs of Holly, santa is a European edition to the Christmas story . I taught religious education in primary school.
