My Single Mom Life

Merry Christmas everyone!
I woke up this morning covered in itchy red hives, welts, and with parts of my face swollen, not exactly a pleasant way to wake up on Christmas day.
I'm thinking that I must have used a towel or something yesterday that still had some of the Bounce Dryer Bar residue still on it.

None of the stuff that I ordered for the teens for Christmas, or any of the other things that were supposed to come, have been delivered yet.
Not a single thing has come, total suck, but I still have a small bit of hope that something shows up, Jade said on Twitter that the USPS had dropped off a package a few hours ago, so maybe they will deliver something to us as well today.
The teens are not upset that their stuff hasn't come yet, they know that I ordered stuff, and they know that this time of year is the busiest time for shipping things, so they know that eventually their presents will show up.
The teens have gone to my sister's house for the night, they will be back tomorrow, and that is when we are going to celebrate.
I'm going to cook the turkey and all the rest of the food tomorrow, and hope that the mailman, UPS, and whatever other delivery methods our stuff was being shipped by, actually arrive tomorrow.
But if they don't show until Monday or Tuesday, that's ok too.
I know that they will all eventually get here.

I have been on Twitter wishing people a Merry Christmas, chatting with a few people, and I saw a tweet that made me laugh, so I said so, and then I got a few replies that just show, once again, that most believers still don't know the real history of Christmas.
I received one tweet that said that atheists are hypocrites drafting on the coat tails of religion, because we celebrate Christmas.
It's amazing that we get called hypocrites when it's believers who really don't have the slightest clue about the real history of today, of Christmas, and actually took it from us, non-believers, the pagans.
I've posted about it before when a reader of my blog spent nearly 2 weeks sending me emails calling me a hypocrite, telling me that I had no right to celebrate Christmas.
I wrote out the real history of Christmas in that post and also sent it to that person, and then never heard from him again, which is good because after 2 weeks of being insulted, I really didn't want to hear from him again.
But the real story of the holiday that everyone celebrates but for many different reasons is below.

Christians celebrate Christmas on this day because there is no evidence to actually support the day that Jesus was born, so that day was picked.
More evidence points to Jesus being born in the spring, or even possibly September, the time when the census' were actually held.
The Pagan holiday, the feast of the Son of Isis, was celebrated on December 25.
Partying, feasting, and gift giving, were traditions of this event.
We also had the Romans who called their winter holiday Saturnalia, honoring Saturn, the God of Agriculture.
This was celebrated many years before the birth of Christ.
In ancient Rome, they had people who went around costumed and singing, and dancing.
They were called the Mummers.
The tradition of caroling came from this.
The pagans of northern Europe celebrated their own winter solstice, known as Yule.
Yule was symbolic of the pagan Sun God, Mithras, being born, and was observed on the shortest day of the year.
As the Sun God grew and matured, the days became longer and warmer.
It was customary to light a candle to encourage Mithras, and the sun, to reappear next year.
What day is that?
December 25th.
In 350, Pope Julius I, declared that Christ's birth would be celebrated on December 25.
It was done so it would be as painless as possible for pagan Romans who were the majority at the time, to convert to Christianity.
They accepted this because it meant that their feasts and traditions would not be taken away from them.
The earliest recorded history of a tree being used in a Christian celebration was in 1521, in Germany.
The tree is the one symbol that unites almost all the northern European winter solstices.
Live evergreen trees were often brought into homes during the harsh winters as a reminder to inhabitants that soon their crops would grow again.
The Druids used the tree as a religious symbol, holding their sacred ceremonies, while surrounding and worshiping huge trees.
The life story of Jesus matches the exact same life stories of several other sun gods, most notably, Horus.
They are almost identical.
Horus and Jesus were both "born" on December 25th, they were teaching at age 12, they were crucified, they were buried and rose from the dead in 3 days.

If you ( general you) know anything about the sun gods, then you would know they all have the exact same origins in mythology.
They all follow the zodiac.
The bible is full of astrological symbolism based on the sun, the stars, the setting of the sun etc.
Dec 22nd through the early morning hours of Dec 25th, the sun sits still (always setting in the exact same location) directly beneath 3 stars in the northern sky. They are the longest, darkest days.
Those stars as known as the, da ta da! 3 kings!
On Dec 25th, the sun comes out of winter solstice and begins rising again shedding more light.
The birth of the sun, or as the bible says, the birth of the son.

There are so many identical things about Jesus and Horus, as well as 3 other sun gods like Mithras for example, plus all the astrological stuff in the bible, that it has been drawn, that each age has it's own version of the sun god.
We are in the zodiac age of Pisces, this is known in the bible as the age of Christ.
We will be entering the age of Aquarius on the zodiac time line soon.
Jesus said he would be with us till the end of his age, which is mistranslated in the bible as the word 'time''.
People believe, because of this mistranslation, that when Jesus said that, it meant the end of the world, of all time.
It simply meant the end of his age, his age in the zodiac time line.

So there you have it.
There was no evidence to support the real day that Jesus was born, the Romans took the holiday of the pagans, winter solstice, and gave it to everyone, calling it Christmas, and telling everyone that December 25th would be the day that everyone celebrates the birth of Jesus.
I'm not a hypocrite, I celebrate Christmas, gift giving, the traditions of both St. Nick and the pagan winter solstice.
I really wish that a before people start calling me a hypocrite and telling me that I have no right to celebrate Christmas because I don't believe in Jesus, would actually take the time to understand the real history of this day.
It doesn't belong to just Christians, it belongs to everyone, we are all free to celebrate this day for whatever reasons we choose.

I want to wish all of my readers, no matter what they believe, no matter why they believe it, a very merry Christmas.
I hope that you are having a good time with friends, family, and loved ones.
