Church Members Dress Like Jesus to Protest Secularization of
How could they know how Jesus dressed when they obviously haven't read their bible. If they did, they would know that (a) No way Jesus was born in December, (B) Baby Jesus lived in a house by the time the Wise men got there. (C) decorating a tree is a pagan rite. Adopting the Roman holiday Saturnalia, the church began the Dec 25 holiday.

Extracting Christ from Christmas
The article by Mychal Massie is commendable in that he recognizes that if you are going to celebrate the birth of Messiah, then celebrate it. Don't get involved in the hype of present giving. I believe that it does matter when Messiah was born, but it wasn't at the time of the pagan sun celebration of Saturnalia which is Dec 22 thru Dec 25

Tis' the season....for climate change skepticism
It's that time of year again, where some of us partake in time honored rituals fit for the season. Christmas? Hanukkah? Spiritual Literacy Month? Clerc-Gallaudet Week? The Saturnalia? No, bitching that because it is cold out climate change is a hoax and Al Gore is a mind controlling charlatan. Don't you saps see? I'm cold! It's cold out!

8 Truly Strange Christmas Customs
December 25th was set as the date for Christmas in the 4th century as an attempt to Christianize midwinter pagan holidays such as Solstice and Saturnalia. Customs such as bringing evergreens inside, and hanging lights are universal responses to winter season. Some of the stranger traditions, however, are remnants of those older pagan holidays

New Record: Gutter Twins, Saturnalia
If it seems to you like they’ve always been working together, somehow, over the years and through the binges and across lines both state and emotional, then you’re probably in the target demo for Gutter Twins‘ Saturnalia, the collabo album from longtime friends and fellow travelers Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs) and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees).

Blast - The Gutter Twins: Separated at Birth - The Online Ma
Album review: The artwork gracing the back cover of The Gutter Twins’ “Saturnalia” shows an X-ray image of Siamese twins. It’s an appropriate illustration, given that the duo is a union of two pivotal figures in early 1990s rock
