After today, the days start getting longer. Trudeau can’t take that away - yet.

But Crypto Polly will invest the daylight savings in crypto currency! Funny he doesn't talk about Canada becoming the crypto currency capital of the world anymore. What happened to the big plan to fight inflation with an unregulated currency that nobody really trusts?

Yahoo!!! Major party time for the ancient people!
I have heard that it takes 3 days before the days get any longer. Just the way the Earth rolls. That’s how Christmas ended up on the 25th.

Chuck who is this Polly person you are talking about and what does this have to do with a post about the winter solstice?

From the solstice to the new year is the Yule time. Most of what we think as Christmas traditions are borrowed from the pagan Yule celebrations except for ritual sacrifices. Sometimes a sacrifice or two wouldn’t hurt.

It’s all about sun worship, mixed with religion.
Seldom is right , it takes three days before daylight starts to change . Ancestors knew this , sun “dies” then rises again on the 25th in the northern hemisphere. Hence Christmas timing and scripture. Is what it is .

If he hasn't said anything about it for 2 yrs why do you talk about it every day?

I never did hear him say anytime about replacing the canuclebuck with Crypto.
Can you find 3 examples on U-tube where he promoted Crypto or is that just like cheap renewables?

That’s why “Christmas” was exclusively a northern hemisphere thing for the early generations. Easter is the beginning of spring / summer months, especially in the Mediterranean area where Christianity began . The rise of a new beginning, “rise from the dead” … of winter .
Just a time point in yearly solar transition actually
All wrapped up in alternative belief. Worked for the past few thousand years. They just tied up traditional pagan worship into a controlled belief system for control .
Most religions are based of beliefs of older actual traditions from thousands of years previous.

Anyways , Merry Christmas 🎄 to all , enjoy some time off . The sun will return from the 25th on , and the growing season will return in spring .

Shaping up to be the coldest Christmas holiday season in the US in 40 yrs.

We just need more government targets to hold that temperature down there where they want it.
