In my tradition we still use the Julian calendar so we celebrate Nativity on Jan 7 on the Gregorian calendar. Which is December 25th on the Julian calendar. Just an interesting tidbit.

At the darkest moment, the light appears. Very symbolic.

Unpopular opinion: Instead of celebrating Christmas should celebrate the Winter solstice again

Isn't it? Yes 24th is the first longer day. We celebrate Christmas in summer here in Argentina. Often with 35, 40 degrees Celsius... I started celebrating winter solstice alone, no one does it. It is important.

Well, an old opinion at least... Back in pre-Christian times, they did celebrate Yule, after the birth of Christ the world had a new reason to celebrate. 😊
