Because nothing says Christmas more than being ridden-down by half-naked Valkyries

Yes, it's my annual Alternative Christmas Message via Ancient Origins – this year I explore the secret identity of Santa Claus – is he really the Norse god Odin? Here's a preview on the story...

The Man Who Was Wednesday: The Norse Origin of Christmas

Christmastide traditions are a glorious amalgamation of customs and practices that have been appropriated wholesale from other belief systems, primarily those of Ancient Rome. But Rome is only part of the story because over the centuries Christmas has also acquired a number of key traditions drawn from the pagan Germanic and later Norse peoples who dominated Western Europe in the years following the collapse of the Roman Empire.
