mutta ihan vakavasti ottaen sain Jeesuskelta sanoman tänään etttä Hän vihaa joulua, ja tuli raamatunpaikka mieleen
jes 1
13 Älkää enää tuoko minulle turhaa ruokauhria; suitsutus on minulle kauhistus. En kärsi uuttakuuta enkä sapattia, en kokouksen kuuluttamista, en vääryyttä ynnä juhlakokousta.
14 Minun sieluni vihaa teidän uusiakuitanne ja juhla-aikojanne; ne ovat käyneet minulle kuormaksi, jota kantamaan olen väsynyt.
….29 Sillä he saavat häpeän niistä tammista, joita te himoitsitte, ja pettymyksen puutarhoista, jotka te valitsitte.
30 Sillä teidän käy kuin tammen, jonka lehdet lakastuvat, ja kuin puutarhan, joka on vailla vettä.
31 Ja mahtaja tulee rohtimeksi ja hänen tekonsa kipinäksi, ja molemmat palavat yhdessä, eikä ole sammuttajaa.
5. Moos 21: 21 Älä pystytä itsellesi asera-karsikoita, älä mitään puuta, Herran, sinun Jumalasi, alttarin viereen, jonka itsellesi teet
Jes. 66: 17
17 Jotka pyhittäytyvät ja puhdistautuvat puutarha-menoja varten, seuraten miestä, joka on heidän keskellänsä, jotka syövät sianlihaa ja muuta inhottavaa sekä hiiriä, niistä kaikista tulee loppu, sanoo Herra.
The places planted with trees, etc., in which idolatrous worship was practiced. 'In the language of the Hebrews, every place where plants and trees were cultivated with greater care than in the open field, was called a garden. The idea of such an enclosure was certainly borrowed from the garden of Eden, which the bountiful Creator planted for the reception of his favorite creature. The garden of Hesperides, in Eastern fables, was protected by an enormous serpent; and the gardens of Adonis, among the Greeks, may be traced to the same origin, for the terms horti Adenides, the gardens of Adonis, were used by the ancients to signify gardens of pleasure, which corresponds with the name of Paradise, or the garden of Eden, as horti Adonis answers to the garden of the Lord. Besides, the gardens of primitive nations were commonly, if not in every instance, devoted to religious purposes. In these shady retreats were celebrated, for a long succession of ages, the rites of pagan superstition.' - Paxton. These groves or gardens were furnished with the temple of the god that was worshipped, and with altars, and with everything necessary for this species of worship. They were usually, also, made as shady and dark as possible, to inspire the worshippers with religious awe and reverence on their entrance; compare the note at Isaiah 66:17.

Druidit
Misteli on aina kiehtonut ihmisiä. Siihen on liitetty monenlaisia uskomuksia ja myyttejä, ja sillä voi joissain tapauksissa olla rauhoittavia ominaisuuksia.lähde? Joissakin maissa sitä käytetään joulukoristeena. Misteli kasvaa erittäin harvoin tammessa, mutta Asterix-sarjakuvissa tammesta poimituilla misteleillä on erityisiä ominaisuuksia.

Mistletoe
Kissing under the mistletoe, has even queerer credentials, almost lost in the mists of the ancient lands it came from.
In Iron Age Britain, Ireland and Gaul, Druids were the ‘professional classes’ and religious leaders. One of their jobs was to gather mistletoe at the winter Solstice.
Many Druids were also gay, their otherness singling them out as special and holy. All good until that ‘otherness’ meant they were called on to sacrifice themselves to save the tribe in times of war or want.

Alban Arthuan is one of the ancient Druidic fire festivals. Taking place on December 21st through 22nd (due to the method the Druids used to measure one day), Alban Arthuan coincides with the Winter Solstice. Translated, it means "The Light of Arthur," in reference to the Arthurian legend that states King Arthur was born on the Winter Solstice.
Alban Arthuan is also known as Yule, derived from the Anglo-Saxon "Yula," or "Wheel of the Year" and marked the celebration of both the shortest day of the year and the re-birth of the sun.

Decorating the Yule tree was also originally a Pagan custom; brightly colored decorations would be hung on the tree, usually a pine, to symbolize the various stellar objects which were of significance to the Pagans - the sun, moon, and stars - and also to represent the souls of those who had died in the previous year. The modern practice of gift giving evolved from the Pagan tradition of hanging gifts on the Yule tree as offerings to the various Pagan Gods and Goddesses.
Some of the current traditions surrounding "Father Christmas" or Santa Claus can also be traced back to Celtic roots. His "elves" are the modernization of the "Nature folk" of the Pagan religions, and his reindeer are associated with the "Horned God" (one of the Pagan deities).

Dating back centuries before Christ, cultures brought evergreen trees, plants, and leaves into their homes upon the arrival of the winter solstice, which occurs in the northern hemisphere between December 21st and 22nd. Although the specific practices were different in each country and culture, the symbolization was generally the same: to celebrate the return of life at the beginning of winter's decline.
Egyptians particularly valued evergreens as a symbol of life's victory over death. They brought green date palm leaves into their homes around the time of the winter solstice.
Romans had a public festival called Saturnalia, which lasted one week beginning on December 17th, and included a variety of celebrations around the winter solstice. Curiously, the Roman winter solstice was marked on December 25th on the Julian calendar. These celebrations are thought to have merged with pagan practices of hanging mistletoe and the burning of the Yule log.
In Britain, the Yule log was originally seen as a magical amulet, and eventually made it into the hand's of Father Christmas. In Italy the Yule log is still burned for the "Festa di Ceppo". In Catalonia, the log is wrapped in a blanket until Christmas Eve, when it's unwrapped and burned for the custom of "fer cagar el tio". And in Serbia, families bring the Yule log (known as a "badnjak") into their homes on Christmas Eve to be burned along with prayers to God to bring happiness, luck, and riches.
Druid priests in Great Britain also used evergreen plants and mistletoe in pagan ceremonies, and the mistletoe plant was the symbol of the birth of a god. Celtic Druids and Norseman of Scandinavia also used mistletoe in a mysterious ceremony just after the winter solstice.

Itse vietän joulua ainakin vain kapitalistisena juhlana. NIIN KUIN KAIKKI MUUTKIN
En laita joulukuusta alttarin viereen, joten asia on meillä okei. En myöskään palvo sitä, enkä polta sille uhrisuitsukkeita. Englannin kielisiä osuuksia en ruvennut lukemaan.
Ai ai, on Jesse-poika varmaan ollut aika tuhma ja pukki tuonut pelkkiä risuja! Kukapa sellaisesta voisi tykätäkään!?
Vai vihaako sen takia, että Joulun vieton perinne ja luonnonusko on paaaaaaaaaljon paaaljon vanhempi kuin joku jeesus. Vanhat pyhät n tallottu jalkoihin ja yritetty työntää jotain bullshittiä tilalle. Onneksi valtaosa antaa sille pitkät,

Of the oaks - Groves, in ancient times, were the favorite places of idolatrous worship. In the city of Rome, there were thirty-two groves consecrated to the gods. Those were commonly selected which were on hills, or high places; and they were usually furnished with temples, altars, and all the implements of idolatrous worship. Different kinds of groves were selected for this purpose, by different people. The Druids of the ancient Celtic nations in Gaul, Britain, and Germany, offered their worship in groves of oak - hence the name Druid, derived from δρῦς drus, an oak. Frequent mention is made in the Scriptures of groves and high places; and the Jews were forbidden to erect them; Deuteronomy 16:21; 1 Kings 16:23; 2 Kings 16:4; Ezekiel 6:13; Ezekiel 16:16, Ezekiel 16:39; Exodus 34:13; Judges 3:7; 1 Kings 18:19; Isaiah 17:8; Micah 5:14. When, therefore, it is said here, that they should be ashamed of the oaks, it means that they should be ashamed of their idolatrous worship, to which they were much addicted, and into which, under their wicked kings, they easily fell.

Legend holds that St. Boniface was the first to co-opt the tradition for Christianity in the 8th century. He was attempting to convert the Druids who worshipped oak trees as the symbol of their idol. He instead offered the balsam fir tree, using its triangular shape to describe the Trinity and the fact that his evergreen boughs pointed to heaven, as a symbol of God.
Martin Luther is credited with bringing the popularity of the Christmas tree to Germany. Out on a winter evening one night composing a sermon, he was awed by the beauty of the stars. When he returned home, he attempted to recreate the beauty for his family by putting candles on an evergreen tree in his home.

Christmas trees, like most Christmas traditions other than Church services, were adopted late in America. The Puritans frowned on all such “pagan” traditions. In 1659, the General Court of Massachusetts made any observance of Christmas other than a church service a penal offense. It wasn’t until an influx of German and Irish immigrants came in the 19th century that the Puritan legacy was undermined.
