Happy Christmas! Christmas is a very old holiday. It clearly started as a celebration of the passing of the winter solstice, and the start of the sun's journey from the north to the south… The ancient Romans observed this time with a festival dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture, and it was called Saturnalia… When Emperor Constantine decreed Christianity as the new faith of the Roman Empire, early in the fourth century, the Christians gave the holiday an entirely new name and an entirely new meaning. -So celebrate Christmas for its true reason, long live Saturn!

Happy days, blotted by world domination.
