Isn't there ANYONE who knows what Christmas is all about??

[Susita 175]

[Niels Bohr 72]

Eventhough we're not religious, I celebrate Christmas because it brings everyone together.

[PlatyPius 5]

Yule or Yule-tide is a winter festival that was initially celebrated by the historical Germanic peoples as a pagan religious festival, though it was later absorbed into, and equated with, the Christian festival of Christmas. The festival was originally celebrated from late December to early January on a date determined by the lunar Germanic calendar. The festival was placed on December 25 when the Christian (Julian) calendar was adopted. Some historians claim that the celebration is connected to the Wild Hunt or was influenced by Saturnalia, the Roman winter festival.

Terms etymological equivalent to "Yule" are still used in the Nordic Countries for both the Christian Christmas, but also other religious holidays of the season. In modern times this has gradually led to a more secular tradition under the same name as Christmas. Yule is also used in a lesser extent in English speaking countries to refer to Christmas. Customs such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others stem from Yule. In modern times, Yule is observed as a cultural festival and also with religious rites by some Christians and by some Neopagans.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la*

'Tis the season to be jolly

*

Don we now our gay apparel.

*

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol.

*

See the blazing Yule before us.

*

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

*

Follow me in merry measure.

*

While I tell of Yuletide treasure.

*

Fast away the old year passes.

*

Hail the new ye lads and lasses

*

Sing we joyous all together.

*

Heedless of the wind and weather.

That's why Barack Obama preempted the message with his Afghanistan beef-up speech. He obviously knows what Christmas is all about... but doesn't want people to hear it anymore. He totally C-blocked Linus.
