Christmas is not supposed to be the holiday we know today. It is never even supposed to be something it was back in XX Century. As many said before me, that was a religious holiday, a tradition, more of a memory day. The day Jesus Christ, one of the God’s incarnations, was born. Not exactly, but around the same time. Back then days were not counted exactly that easy and practical as we do it for a few centuries - nobody wrote anybody’s birthday really, so that’s why the date is that way and even being different within christian societies.
Orthodoxian christians for example celebrate it by being fasting the rest of the december and then at the 7th January it’s christmas for them. But they do not have all this christmas morning stuff with presents. That’s just another topic and details are at large if to compare it completely with all details. But orthodoxians are still celebrating it in the name of Jesus and in rememberance, and doing the same as many do at catholic christmas many of them believe to be a sin - because you’re trying to make the work better and get rid of material and physical passions from Earth, as they say. None of my peers even knew that Christmas is even celebrated in Russia, because many believed HNY replaced it. They were shocked when they heard the truth about this kind of spiritual celebration over eating until toilet and buying until your greed is over.
And there is no way there was any NATIONAL ANTHEMS to the christmasthat you hate so much to the bone you’d like to crush every single retail shop that have acoustics in it (it wasn’t present back in the day, but for five years straight somehow Jingle Bells is freaking everywhere, oof!), because most of the “songs” are at church and not the regular songs we dance to, but again, the spiritual ones at church service, that may go for 8 hours straight depending on situation, and you must STAY at services, no seats. Catholics also has church services for Christmas less irritating at the details, the same in the idea. It’s Jesus Birth after all.
Do anybody go at church service at 25th of December. Actual christians yes, but most, including, some of us here, will enjoy something somebody bought, or even bought ourselves.
