I remember first learning that you can cry from any emotion, that emotions are chemical levels in your brain and your body is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium. so if one emotion sky rockets, that chemical becomes flagged and signals the tear duct to open as an exit to release that emotion packaged neatly within a tear. Everything made sense after learning that. That sudden stability of your emotions after crying. How crying is often accompanied by the inability to feel any other emotion in that precise moment. And it is especially beautiful knowing that it is even possible to experience so much beauty or love or happiness that your body literally canβt hold on to all of it. So what Iβve learned is that crying signifies that you are feeling as much as humanely possible and that is living to the fullest extent. So keep feeling and cry often and as much as needed
SHIT WHAT
Also let yourself cry. It really is a biochemical release valve to dump out all the chemicals that make you feel stuff.
I honestly think one reason men in western culture have so many problems is that we donβt let them cry, and literally their brains get stuffed with all this crap that doesnβt have a release valve. Men, please cry. Youβll feel better. Itβs ok. You are not lesser for taking care of your health.
This is why tears from different emotions look different under an electron microscope. Theyβre literally made up of different things.Β
Happy tears are structurally different than sad tears than angry tears than overwhelmed tears etc.
I looked it up, cuz that tidbit was dope to me and..
Never would have known
Ah yes, the emotions: grief, change, onion, humor

Some highlights from Shrek Retold, a weird and wonderful full length fan film made by over 200 contributors, that that recreates the entire first Shrek movie scene by scene using each contributors own unique style for the section they created.
Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.
students: *not sticking to the status quo*
the entire cafeteria:
whatβs christmas even like in non-christian families? in completely non-religious families? like what do you tell your children? βwell, kids, weβre eating a whole lot of food and spending a fuckton of money spoiling you because some other people somewhere believe their holy lord and saviour and the greatest person to walk the earth was born 2000 years ago. hereβs a playstation.β
yeah pretty much
i legit didnt know non-christians celebrated christmasβ¦ literally never crossed my mindΒ
We do, and basically itβs likeΒ βHey kids, letβs decorate a tree, exchange presents, eat a fuckload of food, and get a picture with the creepy mall Santa that probably will be arrested next weekβ. I didnβt even know it was a religious holiday until I was 9
Christmas was celebrated here (in Norway) for several thousand years before Christianity got here. There was literally nothing Christian about it in the beginning, the Christians just figured itβd be easier to say that Jesus was born on a day that was already celebrated than to make up a new holiday and force it on people
Pretty much every culture in the northern hemisphere has had a celebration in the fuck-all heart of winter purely because itβs depressing as fuck when itβs cold all the time and dark for 90% of the time
So long before jesus was born someone was like
βk itβs cold and dark and the view outside is literally identical to our concept of hell but I made you this candle stop being sadβ
Yep, Easter existed before Jesus died on this day. Basically pretty much everyΒ βChristianβ holiday was put on a pagan holiday, like lots of churches were also built on pagan places of worship. Thatβs how they made Christianity a success. We call that marketing now.Β
Christmas is rooted in pre-Christian Solstice celebrations. By Dec. 25th, days are getting noticeably longer. Light is triumphing over the dark. Spring and life will eventually return. In the dead of winter, the promise of renewal. Itβs an ancient and powerful thing, that has been integral to human culture and religion in every culture around the globe.Β
Christians couldnβt get people to stop celebrating their solstice feast days, so they replaced the βrebirth of the sunβ celebrations with a βbirth of the sonβ celebration. Literally all they did was tweak existing mythology and relabel old traditions.Β
Christmas is far, far older than Christianity. Donβt flatter yourselves.Β
Additionally the birth of Christ was probably sometime in the spring or summer. (we base this on tax times and lambing seasons). By and large*, Christians didnβt start celebrating the birth of Jesus in December until 336 when Roman Emperor Constantine did a whole bunch of shady stuff to give his mommaβs religion more power/importance and basically set Christianity on the sucky ass path itβs been on every since. (fyi it was Pope Julius I who made it an official holiday a few years later).
*There is some speculation on why this was so easily accepted. One reason being that for reasons not quite known the date was already associated with Jesusβs birth. In the second century Hippolytus wrote in passing that Jesusβs birthday was on December 25th and I think this gets largely ignored because it doesnβt fit with the currently popular historical narrative. That said humans have long had traditions of combining/appropriating regional holidays as populations move into and out of areas and we have ALWAYS had a mid winter holiday for reasons.
tl;dr: The most readily identified secular Christmas observations/symbols/etc arenβt Christian at all, so itβs not remotely odd to me that Christmas is celebrated by nonchristians. Itβs odder to me that nonchristians get all riled up when those secular symbols are attacked. (like holiday reindeer cups, etc)
ps. I realize that those symbols are not secular to everyone, but in most current observances there is little knowledge or understanding of their religious roots.Β
βCLIMBS UP ON SOAPBOXβ
ALSO BECAUSE IβM NOT DONE
Christmas trees? Why the fuck do we drag a tree into our house and decorate it in the middle of winter? Because the evergreen is an ancient pagan symbol associated with immortality and rebirth, as itβs the only tree that is green in the dead of winter. Romans used fir branches to decorate their homes at Saturnalaia. Pagans in Europe used fir and holly branches to remind themselves that rebirth and growth would return, as even the coldest winter could not kill all the green growing things. It doesnβt have fuckall to do with Jesus, kids.Β
Santa? The wise old man who rides a sleigh drawn by eight reindeer through the sky on Yule Night? Based on Odin, the Allfather of the Norse Gods, who rode his eight-legged steed Slepnir on a hunt through the sky on Yule night. Children would leave their boots out, filled with hay or root vegetables for Odinβs mount as an offering. If this pleased Odin, he would leave gifts in return, for all gifts must be returned in kind.Β
Sound familiar?? (Right and the reindeer? A hugely important animal to most of the Northern European cultures where solstice celebrations originated. They also have ties to the Horned God, the god of the hunt, which associates them with Odinβs ride with the Wild Hunt on Yule Eve. Again, ainβt got shit-all to do with Jesus.)Β
Christmas.Β
Ainβt.Β
Christian.Β
*builds a soapbox big enough for the both of us, passes you a cup of eggnog and a spiced cookie*
Donβt get me started on St. Nic.Β
Saint Nicolas (the Wonderworker) was a wealthy, 4th century Turkish saint (so the likelihood of that round white man with the white beardβ¦yeahβ¦pretty slim *snickers at pun*) with a reputation for secret gift giving, ie putting coins in shoesβ¦which I wonder where that notion would have come from? I mean on the one hand, yes, previously existing traditions from others, but also, shoes are handy? and a place someone is likely to absolutely not miss a thing.
But really, THATβS IT. He didnβt leave toys for children or build them or any such thing. What we have is just have a good olβ case of FUSION going on wherein the Christians were super excited to have someone of their own who could take on the traits of a figure most likely already common in their time/geography. Because Iβma guess folks really didnβt want to give up this kind of fun.
It REALLY helped that St. Nicβs feast day was early December.Β
The holiday took off during the Middle Ages in areas where anything pagan had better be rebranded as Christian or folks couldnβt keep it. St. Nic was handy, became Sinterklass and heck yes took a whole bunch from Odin cause you knowβ¦Odin needed a Christian face if he was going to continue spoiling kids with sweets.Β
As it stands now, St. Nic is nearly lost in all but name, but manβ¦when people start getting super passionate about their white santa I like to drag him out and wave him around.
GESTICULATES WILDLY AT ABOVE POST WHILE SHOVING COOKIE INTO MOUTH
And St. Nick became associated with the earlier Odin myth BECAUSE he shared some features compatible with the Odin myth and was a suitable Christian figure to use to cover up the older, pagan roots of the tradition!
SANTA IS EITHER A TURKISH MAN OR THE POWERFUL KING OF A PAGAN PANTHEON TAKE YOUR PICK EITHER WAY YOUR JOLLY LITTLE WHITE SANTA IS A LIE.
AND THEN THE ELVES. FUCK ME THE ELVES.Β
Tied inextricably to the myths of theΒ βlittle people,β and of course to the powerful Sidhe and the dwarves of Norse myth, who crafted wondrous gifts for the gods in their marvelous workshops. Β
The Fair Folk were well known for punishing those who crossed them, and conversely richly rewarding those who pleased them. Or, in other words,Β βThe Naughty and Nice.βΒ
βSwigs eggnog, drops mic.βΒ
Okay so like my favorite awful Christmas movie is the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus because holy heck it takes all the pagan elements cuts them up and stitches them into this wild but somehow historically honest (not accurate, honest, thereβs a difference) quilt and yes, the naughty and nice fair/forest folk justβ *flails until you reassure me that youβve seen this claymation masterpiece*
This is why our tree is basically forest, fey, and mythological creatures because honestly the magic and wonder of the season is what I love the most.
Also, I sorta hate round fat jolly santa and I think we could have largely helped me get over that as a child if he had just ridden a beautiful giant grey horse.
NOW
DO WE EVEN WANT TO GET INTO THE MESS THAT IS YULE LOGS?
OH FUCK I THOUGHT NO ONE ELSE EVEN KNEW ABOUT THAT MOVIE MY MOTHER WATCHED IT WITH US WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BUDDING FILTHY HEATHEN AND SHE WAS ALREADY A FULLY FLEDGED FILTHY HEATHEN.
My tree is all vintage glass ornaments that Iβve gotten from thrift shops because I love the sheer beauty of them and because I feel like my pagan ancestors would have also loved them.Β
And OH FUCK YULE LOGS, traditionally cut from an oak tree, which has such deep rich symbolism in old pagan mythology that itβs worthy of a whole essay on its own, decorated with evergreen and holly for rebirth and immortality, and burned on the solstice to celebrate the return of light and warmth.
Thereβs an old, old rhyme for this;Β
May the log burn, May the wheel turn, May evil spurn, May the Sun return.
And then of course the ashes were used as powerful protection and fertility charms.Β
CHRISTIANITY CONTENT; 0.000000%.Β
βOffers spiced mead and gingerbread.βΒ
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this andβ¦
HOLY CRAP, OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THAT MOVIE?! ITβS MY FAV FUCKING XMAS MOVIE AND WHEN I SHOW IT TO PEOPLE THEYβRE LIKEβ¦WTF DID I JUST WATCH?!
Nowβ¦.can I get on this spiced mead and cookies business?!
YEEAAAAAHHHHHH I love this whole thread!Β
In my country, in the little town my grandparents used to live, people still burn a decorated log at Solstice and masked men in furs dangle big cowsβ bells to scare the darkness away. I live in Romania.
So can I make tshirts that says
CHRISTMAS IS A LIE - HAPPY YULE!! with all the βtraditional Christmasβ symbols like reindeer and evergreens and such because thats all Pagan symbolism anyway??
I wanna make this shirt. I live in the bible belt. I need it.
