Before Santa Claus, Christmas Was a Nightmare

complete bias video, you mistake christmas with winter, the hard condition of winter didn't begin with the celebration of christmas, also you make sound like church take the fun and celebrations out of paganism winter rits, the reason why many cultures celebrated at winter solstice it because it's the date of the harvest, it's a temporary time of abundance and forced time to rest, to to the impossibility to cultivate in the winter, that didn't change with christianity, winter was hard yes, it was hunger, people suffer by the cold, also increase the risk to illness, but that didn't change before or after christmas, and yes, christianity it's about repentance, but also about thanksgiving, and the trust that God will provide, church offered comfort and charity as well. also, the new version of santa claus, didn't bring the better conditions, it came as a result of them, the industrial revolution bring more wealthy in general, but with it came the marketing and the consumerism, Santa appears as tool to sell more products, not as the protector of the infancies, also child labor didn't end with santa or industrial rev, it stick as a normal thing for decades, you can ask any great grand pa.

Your the best
