What did you expect?
The end of the world?
Welcome
this is Horror
Terror,
and Other Pleasures.
Once more
comes this time of the year
when the ghosts
join the living.
When strange creatures invade our homes
supernatural beings run through the streets
and there is nothing we can do to stop them...
What?
You think I invented this?
Allow me to introduce you to something called
Saturnalia
Saturnalia
or Satrunal Festivities
were a celebration in honor of the god Saturn
also known as the Slaves festival
because in those days
slaves were allowed with double rations
free time
and other gifts.
First christians had many problems
trying to supress this celebration.
It lasted for 7 days
It were Christmas and Carnival at the same time
Doesn´t
seems
terrible at all, isn´t it?
May I remind you who were celebrating?
OK,
this days are also mean to celebrate the birth of one child
A child who came to us
by immaculate conception.
a child
that would be worshiped by millions, called
Huitziloposhtli
Yes, it is true
You... didn´t knew that the aztecs celebrated the birth of their main god
this days?
What? Christmas
is a time to celebrate
with family
all together?
Old norsemen would agree.
they
celebrated Yule this days.
All family gathered together
to enjoy dinner.
And when I said ALL
I mean ALL
those who
are still among us
and those who
already passed away...
Indeed
Quite a joyful party,isn´t it?
Even after the birth of Jesus from Nazareth
Christmas was far from being
a cheerful holiday.
Until 325 A. D.
it was not oficialy accepted.
Even today, the date is debated.
Then, religious wars and other events
cause it to be forbidden.
Until XIX century
this was the night
when ghosts left their graves
to make the living
answer for their misdeeds
Yes. The dark nights of December
gave birth to more hauntings
than any other in the year.
It is a night
when the strangest creatures lie in wait.
By the way,
if this wasn´t enough, there is the darkest of horrors,
the greatest fear which cames this days
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!!!!!!
Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright
Round yon *** mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild
I wish everyone
happy Saturnalia
and, like the supernatural spirits of this days
maybe I'll be next week
along with the man
in the red
suit.
No, the other one.
