HD Winter Christmas Screensaver - Snow falling, Fire crackling sound, Cosy - 2 hours 30 min
The color of Fall is turning from red to white as Winter approaches the Land of Enchantment. The young ones are sad because they cannot run and play as they did during the warmer months. They began to cry until the voice of The Ancients called out to them. The Ancients told them to listen to the wise words of The Silver Moon Goddess and believe what she says. For the Silver Moon Goddess protects all life on the Land of Enchantment ~ she told the young ones "to look into their hearts, and do not cry, for tomorrow Christmas will be here". Once the children heard her speak those words their tears turned into laughter. Their sad faces were smiling once more.

Today, Christmas is celebrated by millions across the world. It's name and image is firmly ingrained in popular culture, and it stands as the biggest Christian holiday. But is Christmas really that Christian? How does it connect to its other name, Yule? And where did those traditions really come from?
The Myth Behind the Yule Celebration
This is an excerpt from a previous video titled, The True Origins of Kwanzaa, Hanukkah & Christmas. Lana tells the myth behind the Jul (Yule) celebration, which is still alive in Christmas. Watch the entire episode here:
Very good report but it's SO DEPRESSING. They've been trying to destroy the Celtic culture for hundreds of years. After the Jacobite uprising they banned the clan system, the Gaelic language, wearing tartan and I learnt from listening to Red Ice that the potato famine was genocide. I think it is bloody racist to destroy culture.
In the Netherlands, we have a tradition called Sinterklaas. He comes riding a big white horse, and children are encouraged to offer carrots to the horse.
thank you for this video. it was great to see the traditions of Yule through the eyes of the European people's. We are a generation starved for our own cultural traditions.
In northern Europe, Christmas is based on the Nordic holiday Yule, but in the Southern part of Europe, it's based on the Roman holiday Saturnalia. Modern day Christmas draws from both of those holidays with a teeny-tiny bit of Christianity sprinkled over it.
I was raised in a non-strict Christian household, and we knew that Christmas celebrations had pagan origins. It didn't make a difference to us, we just enjoyed the holiday. I actually wrote a paper in my college writing class last year about the origins of Christmas. Most of my classmates had no frikin idea that Santa Clause was Odin.
