Christmas existed before Christmas
Saturnalia and Mithras
Christmas existed before what we conceive of
As Christmas
A holiday that celebrated the birth
of The Desert Messiah
But
But
But
The mythology of a better world
A world where Samsurra or Satan
Or the tyranny of the Demon Deceiver
Wrapped us up in our personal hells
That the mirage of banality the Skeptic bane
Made to only fantasize that we could escape to a simulation
A world where
Even only for a month
The promise of the New Testament
Of The Beatitudes
Of a Better World
Were True
And
In Some ways
Ironically
Christmas Is Real
The Man Who Invented Christmas
Is Real
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
Is Real
Dickens
Im His Story of Three Ghosts scolding a Capitalist
For BEING a good Capitalist
And he listens
And actually gives a shit about humanity
That part sadly
Is most definitely fiction
And capitalists have been Capitalizing on Christmas
Ever since
But the spirit of the thing
A better world
It is real
Love it or hate it
Everyone in the world is touched by it
Every religion has created or adjusted their holidays
To capture or mirror that feeling
That very real magic
The Nightmare Before Christmas Skeleton Jack
Where we all laboratory our Tinsel
Boiling Toiling the Wonder
Of How
How
How
Do we make it real
Ironically
No Invisible Power can enslave us
If we dont have enough people willing to be assholes
To each other
Why cant every day be Christmas?
It can
I believe
Eventually
It will
Dickens saw it first
We literally just have to believe
And
I do
Emphasis on
Eventually
......
Very
Very
Very
Eventually
