StreetArtNEws.net X Banksy, by randomname on Dec 24, 2014 17:30:21 GMT 1, To be fair, Christmas was originally a Pagan holiday called Saturnalia. Christians liked it so much they borrowed it and changed the name.
It was a week-long celebration of lust, gluttony, gambling and general lawlessness. The courts were closed and people could do more or less what they want.
There was a day of gift giving called Sigillaria. The better the gifts you gave, the better that reflected on your status in Roman society.
Personally, I choose to celebrate the holidays in their original form. With an overindulgence in food, drugs, sex and consumerism. Feels a bit less hypocritical that way.
