The Spirit of Christmas

This is a tiny exposé of the historical and religious background of some of our most cherished X-Mas traditions. Feel free to share this video with friends and subscribers and mirror it, if you like.

A note for for rune cracks: The runes in the yggdrasil picture are apparently just decoration and don't seem mean anything. The runes on the left spell SZP (or the words sun, elk; the third is unclear) and the runes to the right spell URL (or the words meaning bull, ride and water/lake). I thought it was important to mention that, in case anyone asks.

Stricly speaking, this is a re-upload, since I took it down last year (presumably because I was high, or drunk, or something), but anyway, here it is again.
