American Reacts Cunk on Christmas - Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk

[@kevanwillis4571]

Thanksgiving means nothing to anyone apart from Americans. July 4th : Same Halloween: No one else really gets it. Except for the Irish,because it is theirs.

[@laziojohnny79]

Halloween aka All Hallows' Eve is a christian celebration not a Celtic one and thus an ancient celebration throughout christian dominated territory. Samhain however is a gaelic celebration with many resemblances with Halloween and the two have intertwined a lot.

East Enders is a soap opera (a continuous drama with several episodes per week on television) which has been on our screens for decades. It is set in a fictional poorer part of London. Traditionally, tge plotline over the Christmas period dramatises some sort of awful trauma or disaster: fights, romantic breakups, Christmas festivities gone wrong, cliffhangers, tragic accidents, mental breakdowns, deaths - just what everyone wants to see over Christmas. Danny Dyer is (or was?) one of the actors playing a major role.

You are not at all weird, I find receiving gifts incredibly awkward and stressful too; I especially loathe 'secret santa' in the workplace, and all forms of enforced jollity which cause my anxiety to go through the roof - that is the opposite of what Christmas is about! I am actually loving the Christmas ads from Marks & Spencer this year (retailer of clothes, homeware and food & drink); the message of the ads is to ditch all the things about Christmas that you hate and do Christmas YOUR way - a way that makes you happy, rather than bowing to social pressure and convention! Many people are furious about the ads, but I love them!

[@nolasmith7687]

I so agree with you regarding the giving and receiving of gifts on society’s demanded timeframe. I got rid of Xmas in my life years ago. Went up to Rovaniemi in Finland. A town on the arctic circle where Santa has his residence and business…. Went out and had photo taken and sent back to my children. Then I went into town and ate his reindeer for lunch. Next postcard to the kids explained that Santa now had a transportation problem and that was the end of giving presents of products that weren’t needed or even wanted. Doesn’t mean we don’t do a whole lot of gifting between ourselves BUT it is on OUR schedule. When I see something that i know the girls would love or something that I know they need, then I happily buy it…any day of the year. And they do the same. No pressure on anyone to buy anything. And think of the tons of rubbish turned into landfill we have avoided over the years. I think the world needs to shake of the consumerism that seems to have drugged the world to the point of us becoming servants to the capitalists’ whims. Thank for sharing Philomena Cunk. She is a brilliant performer isn’t she! I appreciate that you don’t get every bit of her humour. There are a lot of references to British tv shows and cultural norms. Cheers from Oz 😎

[@leehallam9365]

Interesting fact about those snowy Christmasses in England. It hardly ever snows at Christmas in England. However there was a short period when it snowed every Christmas year after year. It just so happened that period was when Dicken's was a little boy. And that is how he wrote about it. We are nostalgic for Dickens's childhood Christmases.

[@MrBulky992]

Actually, historically, it wasn't a short period. It lasted several centuries and is known as the "Little Ice Age" when it was so cold in winter in England that "frost fairs" were held on the thick ice which covered the River Thames in central London (described by Pepys in the late 1600s). You are right that this period came to an abrupt end during Dickens' childhood (c1815?) but the idea of habitual snow at Christmas had imprinted on his brain.

[@leehallam9365]

@@MrBulky992 You are right that it was generally much colder in winter from the 1500's to about 1880, but that didn't mean there was always snow on Christmas day, though it was more common. The specifics about Dickens was that 6 of his first 9 Christmasses were white.

That is true that some boys were 'snipped' routinely, mainly in Italy. They were known as castrati, and many were famous opera singers. The practice carried on (just) long enough for some to make early gramophone records as adults.

The singers who were castrated to maintain a high voice were called castratos. It may sound weird but they were actually very popular with women, one of the odd side effects of castration is that the penis actually grows quite large. They were also very tall, so there voice wasn't like a child soprano, because of the bigger frame it came from. The last of the castrati was Alessandro Moreschi, who died in 1924 and made gramophone recordings that provide the only direct evidence of a castrato's singing voice.

The practice of giving and receiving is an ancient tradition. It is the foundation of reciprocity and cohesion within a family, group or clan. Those who do not participate were seen as outsiders and a possible threat to societal cohesion. It is fair to say that objections to gift giving can be seen as a symptom of a hidden sociopathic tenancy with possible malignant traits with regards to the individuals relationship to the world around them.

Christmas is a great and meaningful holiday, not because of Jesus Christ, but that it was transplanted on to the Northern European festival of Yule (derived from Old English geohol) and the Scandinavian jol. Yuletide was a 12-day celebration (the 12 days of Christmas?) which took place over the Winter Solstice, a time of feasting, animal sacrifice and merrymaking, probably celebrating the rebirth of the sun from its lowest point in the sky (A Thanksgiving celebration if you like). As it was an old tradition, opportunistic Christians adopted it as Christmas, a celebration of Christ's birth (as they did the feast of 'Eostre' later in the year). It was also a time when it was believed that Wodin's (Odin's) Wild Hunt took place, his sleigh being pulled through the sky accompanied by elves (sound familiar?), sweeping up the dead.

5:40 pagans not only celebrated solstices, it was the two equinoxes. It helped in farming. You plant in spring equinox and harvest at autumnal equinox (harvest festival) Christianity hijacked the pagan religion as it was a natural way of living. This is why Christmas is a feast as nothing (food wise) grows and the original Yuletide was from November to February ( Michaelmas to candlemas) basically eating the harvest until spring. Halloween ( All Hallows' eve) is a pagan celebration of the lives, normally family members, churches now call it all saints day. In 2004, I went to church to celebrate my dad's life after he died in the April. During the solstices, the sun ( son) rests for three days before moving. I could go on, but I'll get the religious nuts freaking out 🤣🤣

[@chadUCSD]

Also at the winter solstice the sun remains stationary for 3 days but it also either rises/or sets on the southern cross on the 1st day. It sets to its lowest point on the 21st Dec and then on 25th it rises by 1 degree, so is born/reborn on 25th Dec. So the 'son' dies on the cross and after 3 days rises from its death. Basically the story of Jesus. You should look uo the documentary movie called 'Zeitgeist' and give it a wee watch. Its in 3 parts for the 1st documentary. Part 1 is about the greatest lie ever told to man 'religion' and points out all the similarities between Christianity and the ancient Egyptian religion amongst other ancient religions where many Christian stories seem to derive from. It's an amazing documentary actually and well worth a watch. For a long time it was my absolute favorite documentary film. You should defo look it up n have a watch. 😉 Zeitgeist

"Christmas isn't in the Bible?!" Are you all right??? 😂😂😂

[@chadUCSD]

The birth of Christ is in the bible but there's bo reference to Christmas as a celebration that was ever held. That didn't happen until a long time after Jesus supposedly died. And there's no mention of when he was supposedly born. The fact there were sheppards watching flocks of sheep and lambs would suggest it wasn't on 25th Dec. That fate was chosen by the church hundreds of years later amd was chosen bcos paegams celebrated on that date

[@chadUCSD]

The pagans celebrated 25th Dec as om 21st Dec (solstice) the sun stopped moving south in the sky/horizon and on the 25th Dec it rose by 1 degree in the sky, so was reborn and foreshadowed the longer days ahead. Christians then chose that day as Jesus birthday as the 'aun'son of god' was born. And incorporating oregano festivals and celebrations would make it easier to convert them as many things would remain familiar, making them more accepting of the new religion.
