I like the guy on our right. Very practical.

Oh my goodness: – Christians wouldn’t just take someone else’s celebrations and usurp it as one of their own design, would they?

It’s not so much taking, it’s replacing.

One of the original cancel cultures.

Yes, now is the time of year that we celebrate the Winter Solstice and Saturnalia what the Christians call Christmas. To convert the pagans Christianity adopted their holidays

Truth.

Of course they can, it’s done all the time.

Happy Yule!

Good for what ales you.

it wasn’t Christianity, it was just some that called themselves Christians

Good to remember that you don’t have to change your beliefs to drink the alcohol and eat the cookies.

The spread of Christianity though the Norse regions of Europe and Scandanavia probably included this sort of scene. That and the writings of Paul that appealed to many of the leaders there.
