tis the season to be jolly and sometimes
misinformed Oh a present for boo I
shouldn’t have welcome to watchmojo.com
one by one in today’s installment we’ll
be counting down the five myths about
Christmas that should be on the naughty
list tell me more about this Christmas
and for all of us here at WatchMojo
merry myth –mess don’t you want to
spend Christmas with your family do you
want to spend Christmas with yours
refreshing your drink myth number five
three kings visited Jesus in the manger
no nativity scene is complete without
the three kings gasp ah Melchior and
Balthazar have even had their own
Christmas Carol we three kings since
1857 but here’s the thing
they were never named in the Bible those
names were attributed to them in a sixth
century manuscript describing their
depiction in a mosaic at the basilica de
san upper matt nous voir the Bible also
refers to them as Magi not kings leading
scholars to believe that they were most
likely ancient astrologers according to
the Gospel of Matthew they visited Jesus
as a young child in his home not in a
manger at his birth even the number
three is highly contested Samira spells
about oriental you fellas come on
ass myth number four suicide rates at
Christmas are high this particularly
morbid Christmas myth has been around
for decades and despite the lack of
supporting statistics media outlets have
perpetuated it
christmas is a time for family cheer
holiday spirit and community it
certainly sounds believable that this
time of year could trigger suicidal
thoughts in marginalized people
suffering from depression alienation or
poverty by placing their issues in harsh
contrast to the general merrymaking of
the season
suicide is a major problem in America
but the suicide rate reaches a yearly
low in December proving this so-called
fact categorically wrong if you’re not
having the best day whether it’s
Christmas at heart many don’t worry
plenty mail Desert Inn Nicole
myth number three Saint Nicholas Santa
Claus and father Christmas are all one
in the same Kris Kringle Sinterklaas
Saint Nick the list goes on we use all
these names interchangeably but they all
have distinct cultural origins called
Lord he doesn’t know about Santa Claus I
know about Santa Claus Saint Nicholas
was a charitable fourth century bishop
who left money in the stockings of the
poor he died on December 6 which became
his Saint day and a celebration of
gift-giving in 15th century England
father Christmas debuted he loved to
make merry but he didn’t give gifts in
America the odd Monica Kris Kringle
appeared a name likely inspired by the
German Christ’s Kindle a christ-like
child figure who delivered gifts on
Christmas crying go and put the Santa
costume on well a few food would be more
appropriate
Dutch settlers bought a nickname for
Saint Nick to America Sinterklaas this
would later morph into the American
Santa Claus whose mythos borrowed from
the distinct figures of Saint Nick
father Christmas and Chris Kindle
resulting in the jolly old fellow we
know today yes myth number two Christmas
trees are a long-standing tradition
evergreen trees have long held an
important place in pagan tradition the
sprigs being used to protect a home or
bring it good fortune over the winter
months hey these aren’t Xmas trees oh ha
ha
while pagan winter solstice festivals
have influenced modern Christmas the
concept of the Christmas tree didn’t
come into the picture until the 16th
century and even then it was limited to
German homes the international success
of the Christmas tree only began after
its introduction to America by German
immigrants in the 19th century even then
it remains somewhat of a controversial
decoration or odd choice until the early
1900s when it finally took off growing
into the central holiday symbol it is
today o
buy tree you had a good life that’s how
I want to go out dehydrated and covered
in tinsel myth number 1 Jesus was born
on December 25th he could have been but
it’s highly unlikely Christmas is
canceled you can’t cancel the holiday
give it up Stanley and you will lose New
Year’s there
simply too much evidence to the contrary
the Bible says that Mary and Joseph were
traveling to take part in a census which
historically was held in September or
October after the harvest but before the
cold weather impeded travel it also
states that shepherds were in their
field at the time but flocks are kept
inside during the cold in fertile months
of December in that region the Bible
never gives an exact date in the 4th
century as Christians attempted to
convert the pagans they co-opted certain
competing practices such as the winter
solstice celebration the Roman Emperor
Constantine declared December 25th the
birthday of the pagan god of light
Mithras to be the Christ’s birthday
instead and the rest is Christmas
history happy birthday
be cool Easter same think it’s gonna get
they off so which of these myths did you
find the most surprising that what you
believe

misunderstood me Merry Christmas for
