Actually, Christmas (or the precurser to it) was a Roman holiday. Rather older then the Vikings. And probably even before that, was a pagan holiday (used by the Romans).

Pretty much every culture on the earth, especially ones at extreme northern and southern latitudes have a "coming of the sun" celebration, because the sun gave light and life.

: I just wanted to wish a nice Solstice to all you OG-freaks and to other ppl that are here. I´m happy that the days start getting longer again(at least for us on the northern hemisphere). And good luck in the new year. Remember that the so-called Christmas is actually a viking holiday and not a christian. BTW if anyone have pictures of Lapis Planet, please mail them to me. I´m trying to make some OG-scenery using a new grafix-programme I´ve gotten. I would also be glad if someone would tell me how I put pictures up on the bulletin board.
