First Thanksgiving, now Christmas. Another failed opportunity to have Benjamin Franklin show us what really happened.....

It's not so fun when it becomes "It's time to buy people I care about shit in return"

Christmas is a roman pagan holiday called saturnalia its when the sun god died on the 23rd december and came back on the 25th of december. and beside that jesus was not born on the 25. Why do you think santa rides on his slay because Saturn EL rides on his slay and Saturn EL eats children.

Hot tamales, I already had a girl crush on Lee but when she declared "The Muppets Christmas Carol" is the best movie version of the Charles Dickens classic....my eggs just dropped. Thank you Lee Newton....thank you. I only wish my computer screen could hug me back :(

Didn't Cracked(dot)com run an article pointing out that the modern depiction of Santa Claus actually predates Coca Cola?

these videos are good at putting information out there but a big problem especially with something as complicated as xmas is that they never touch on why or how these facts came into play...therefore they should just stay away from subjects like xmas and easter cause the majority of people aren't going to do research beyond what's in this video which just spouts out bits and pieces here and there...fact is if people knew the real origins of x-mas and what it stood for it wouldn't exist :/

"The truth is Christmas evolved from the Roman holiday Saturnalia, a winter festival where men gave gifts to each other. They also would get drunk, have sex with each other and beat their wives. People would act so crazy on Christmas the holiday was outlawed by the Protestant church until the eighteen hundreds. As a matter of fact, the United States congress…" Huey Freeman
