We are all hurting in every way right now. Everything costs so much, just putting gas in the car, if you have one, is painful. You are not alone. We are all feeling this squeeze right now. You did everything you could. You kept the lights on, you paid the rent. You worked your ass off.
This will be a christmas to remember, not because presents were abundant, but because you fought through it, and provided what you could. It's more than enough. If you are alone this Christmas, you are sadly mistaken. You have all of us here. Just speak out, we are family.
It's only a "dark winter" if we make it so.
It should be a holy day about Jesus, either way. People seem to forget that.
Santa was a psyop
I disagree, I believe Santa was Satan turning a Saint into his own twisted image. St. Nicholas the bishop of Myra loved Christ a great deal, there was a man who had three daughters and he was going to sell each off because he had no money and no way to provide for them. Instead St. Nicholas took a sack of money and threw it through his window to which the first daughter was able to be married off, he did this for the next two girls on the third girl the man waited to see who was giving this money and when he discovered it was St. Nicholas he thanked him greatly. St. Nicholas gave to the poor out of his love for Christ and this isn't taught anymore "Santa" is a twisted distortion of this holy saint.
Where can I learn more about this. I have never been able to find anyone who has details on why Nicholas was a Saint. It was just because "he was so kind & gave stuff away".
Sure, I can link you from our synaxarium.
