Aaaaaand.... SilverWing is back!
Saturnalia is some Greek thingymajig.
(December 24, 2012 - 3:16 pm)
No, it isn't. Saturnalia is a Roman holiday that is celebrated from the 17 to the 23 in December. It honors the god Saturn. There are parties and gift-giving.
For winter(ish) holidays, there was Diwali, but that's in November. And in Japan, there is Oomisoka and Oshougatsu. (Don't quote me on the spellings).

And Santa Lucia.

Do not forget Advent! And Three Kings Day! and Boxing Day! AND CROGSMAS! My friend has actually started a religion concerning Crogsmas. I was going to join, but he wouldn't define the beliefs of his religion, other than the fact it worshipped him. I told him it was a cult and that I wasn't joining. He hasn't explained Crogsmas either.
