time of giving?, your views on other celebrations Options

[Swiyth]

personally, Christmas has been around longer than any of us for a few hundred times.

i once read somewhere that it originated from the romans. they would walk around with home-made presents and start giving it away. eventually, since romans were a strong country, they took over, obviously.

after that time, a monk started going around advertising his religion. he used the fir tree, with three sides, to represent God, The Holy One and something i forgot.

eventually, the tree became a holy symbol and was hung upside down on roman doors.

this religion was so famous, that it spread across the countries, and eventually, to America and England.

but it didn't last long for the English. for around the 17th century, Christmas was outlawed for something about lacking religious meaning or something.

but offcourse, that didn't last long, and people still gave away gifts and was very jolly about it. eventually, it reverted back to normal.

Santa Claus was also pretty much a new character. and the red sock was invented by someone i-forgot-who.

before Santa Claus though, there was Saint Nick. and eventually, the first picture of Santa Claus was drawn, and here is our view of big jolly fat-assed santa.

sooooooooooo. any other celebrations?
