00:00:00.000 And the cool things about Christmas that are cultural touchstones, the tree and the evergreen decorations and the wreaths and the reindeer and the gift-giving amongst family and all of those things.
00:00:20.120 And I'll say this because of this.
00:00:23.420 Before I came home to Alcetree, for a few years, I was Jehovah's Witness.
00:00:28.240 and they did something awful but very helpful. 1.00
00:00:37.580 They tried to de-paganize Christianity 0.52
00:00:41.100 and so they don't celebrate holidays 0.97
00:00:44.560 because that's idolatry.
00:00:47.180 They don't do any of those things. 0.84
00:00:49.800 They take all of the paganism out of their Christianity 0.96
00:00:53.480 and you see the very stark contrast
00:00:56.760 on what things are actually biblical
00:00:59.140 and what things are pagan elements of our folk soul,
00:01:03.980 what elements of what most people take
00:01:06.600 for Christian observance is actually Alcindra.
00:01:09.620 Those things that we all love around, you know, 0.52
00:01:15.720 Yule time are Aryan things and not Jewish things.
00:01:22.400 and i mean you you may come from a very very uh christian background where there was a lot of
00:01:29.220 midnight mass and a lot of major and baby jesus but for a great number of us that was always kind
00:01:38.760 of an afterthought and that's not something that was celebrated so all those little touchstones
00:01:44.360 you can still appreciate in a yule context but with all of the richness of bringing in
00:01:50.960 the gods and celebrating the ancestors unabashedly and proudly, and not worrying about idolatry,
00:02:01.540 you know, those kind of things, you're able to fully immerse yourself in that time of
00:02:05.780 year.
00:02:06.020 It's beautiful.
