Good day, we hope this finds you all well, in good spirit and enjoying a
restful and peaceful Sabbath. This article is for those who can "see"
through the materialism of the season and want to know the true origins
of Christmas/Yuletide. It may not be what you expected or willing to
accept, but it is the Truth that the majority have been following for
thousands of years, which doesn't make it right. A lie is still a lie,
no matter how many choose to follow it. May peace be in you and upon you
always. Editors notes.

Our passion for Christmas has become somewhat of a rite; and a
tradition we’re accustomed to, because it seems magical. It’s a
feel-good festival of visuals, tastes, smells, melodies and memories. We
think we’re celebrating the birth of Jesus, but we were partying long
before He arrived. We should have taken His message more seriously and
stopped the fanfare of paganism, consumerism and humanism; but we
didn’t. We created a nativity scene, told Him to lie there, while we
merrily carried on with our pageantry of the winter solstice.
Many holiday activities in Great Britain and the United States have
come from Germany’s alluring tales. And these tales can be traced back,
not only to Rome, but also to Babylon and Baal-worship. That’s
frightening, or should be, but so are Santa Claus and his dark alter
ego, Dark Pete. Santa has many names, and so does Pete. Legend has it
they travel together like the gods of old. It’s almost like the two
represent an out-in-front image of light, fashioned like Apollo, the
pagan god of the Sun; and a behind-the-scenes image of darkness,
fashioned like the satyr of Bacchus, the pagan god of wine, merriment
and ecstasy: Similar to the pope dressed in white, whilst behind the
scenes the black pope really runs the show. And with all the name
changing over the centuries, it’s hard to keep up with the gods; but
replay the same story every year; and we’ll remember the fairy-tales.
